James A. Rhodes State College

What are the graduation rates for students at James A. Rhodes State College?

Rhodes State's reported overall graduation rate is 47% in the 2024-25 IPEDS figures. That statistic is a cohort measure, not the share of all students who eventually earn a credential.

Federal graduation-rate measures commonly follow first-time, full-time students over a defined period; they can leave out part-time entrants, transfer-in students, and some other groups who are especially relevant at a community college. The rate therefore offers one point of comparison, but a working adult or transfer student should also examine the course sequence and expected time to completion for their own program. Changing majors or attending part time can change an individual timeline substantially.

What is the earning potential for graduates at James A. Rhodes State College?

Career earnings are best evaluated by occupation, credential, location, and time since completion - not by treating one college-wide salary as a prediction for every Rhodes State student. A nursing associate degree and a general transfer pathway, for example, lead to different next steps.

Prospective students can use career advising to compare job requirements and regional openings, then ask a program whether it publishes clearly defined outcomes such as licensing-exam results or employment measures. Any salary figure should identify whose earnings were measured, when they were measured, and whether it is a median or an average. It will not account fully for work hours, prior experience, further education, or students who pursue a different occupation.
