Lone Star College System

What are the graduation rates for students at Lone Star College System?

Lone Star College System's reported overall graduation rate was 21% in IPEDS 2024-25 data. This is a cohort measure, not the share of everyone who attended the system and eventually earned a credential.

The commonly reported federal graduation-rate measure follows first-time, full-time degree- or certificate-seeking students and asks whether they completed within 150% of their program's normal time. At a community college, it does not fully describe students who begin part time, return after earlier college study or leave to transfer before receiving a Lone Star credential. The rate is still worth considering alongside an applicant's intended program, expected course load and transfer goal. It does not, on its own, establish why students did or did not complete.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Lone Star College System?

A dependable system-wide earnings figure for Lone Star College graduates is not established here. In particular, a single salary should not be inferred from the college's offerings in nursing, business, homeland security or information technology.

Federal program-level earnings measures, when published, generally describe a defined group of former students at a specified time after attendance or completion; they are not starting-salary promises for every graduate. Results can vary with occupation, credential, work experience, location and whether a student transfers for additional education. Applicants comparing programs should look for a figure's population, measurement date and whether it is a median or an average before using it in a financial decision.
