What are the graduation rates for students at Los Angeles Valley College?

Los Angeles Valley College's reported overall graduation rate is 32% in the 2024-25 institutional data. That figure is a cohort-based completion measure, not the share of every student enrolled at the college who eventually earns a credential.

For a two-year college, the commonly reported federal graduation-rate measure follows first-time, full-time, degree- or certificate-seeking students and asks whether they complete within 150% of the program's normal time - typically three years for a two-year program. It does not fully describe students who begin part time, transfer before receiving an LAVC award, or return after a longer break. Prospective students weighing this figure should compare it with outcomes for their specific goal, including transfer and program completion where those measures are published.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Los Angeles Valley College?

Pay after attending Los Angeles Valley College will vary substantially by field, credential, location, work experience, and whether a student transfers for a bachelor's degree. A single college-wide salary would combine students taking very different routes and would be a weak basis for predicting an applicant's earnings.

When reviewing program-level earnings in federal College Scorecard materials, students should check the measure's timing and population - for example, whether it describes median earnings of federally aided students after completing a particular credential. Such figures can help compare options, but they do not include every former student, prove that a credential caused a pay level, or account for an individual's living costs and career choices.

LAVC's career services are more immediately actionable than a broad earnings estimate. Available support includes career exploration, individual and group counseling, résumé and interview preparation, job-search resources, and employer events. Access to those services should not be read as a promise of placement.
