What are the graduation rates for students at Lower Columbia College?

Lower Columbia College's reported overall graduation rate is 23% in the 2024-25 institutional data. This is a cohort measure, not the percentage of every student enrolled that year who earned a credential.

Federal graduation-rate measures typically follow a defined group of first-time, full-time students and count completion within a specified period. That makes the figure useful for comparison, but it does not describe every LCC student: part-time students, returning adults, and many transfer-in students follow different paths. A student who transfers before receiving an LCC credential may also have made academic progress that this graduation measure does not capture.

The reported rate was 25% in the preceding year. Prospective students evaluating a specific program should ask about its own completion requirements and outcomes rather than assume the institution-wide rate predicts their individual result.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Lower Columbia College?

There is no reliable program-level one-year earnings figure here for LCC's reported teacher-education or business-administration fields. It would therefore be misleading to assign either field a typical starting salary or to describe a particular income as an expected result of enrolling.

When comparing earnings information from other sources, students should check whether the figure is a median or an average, how long after enrollment or completion it was measured, and whether it includes only graduates or a broader group of former students. Occupation, location, further education, and the number of students represented can all affect what a figure means.
