Lackawanna College's reported overall graduation rate is 37% in the supplied 2024-25 institutional figures. A graduation rate follows a defined group of entering students over a specified period; it does not describe the share of everyone who has ever enrolled who eventually earns a credential.
The figures also report a first-year retention rate of 83%, which addresses a different question: whether students return, not whether they graduate. Separate four- and six-year figures of 67% should not be averaged with the overall rate or treated as outcomes for the same entering group without checking their cohort definitions and degree levels. Prospective students can get a more useful picture by asking their program about completion, transfer, and licensing-exam outcomes applicable to their intended credential.
A single salary figure would not reliably describe what a Lackawanna College student can expect to earn. Earnings depend on the credential, occupation, location, prior experience, and whether a student enters work immediately or continues studying.
Federal College Scorecard earnings measures, when available for a program, generally reflect the earnings of a defined group of former students at a stated point after attendance; they are not starting-salary promises for every graduate. Applicants comparing programs should check the measurement period and population behind any published figure, then consider local job requirements and likely borrowing alongside salary. Career-center assistance and a job offer are also different from a verified earnings outcome.
