Miami Dade College

What are the graduation rates for students at Miami Dade College?

Miami Dade College's reported overall graduation rate is 46% in the 2024-25 IPEDS figures, up from 33% in the 2019 series. This is a defined federal completion measure, not the percentage of everyone who has ever enrolled and eventually earned a credential.

IPEDS graduation-rate measures focus on an entering cohort of first-time, full-time students and completion within a specified period, commonly 150% of a program's normal length. They therefore do not describe every part-time student, transfer student or person who takes courses without seeking a credential. A student comparing programs should also ask about outcomes for the particular credential and whether credits will transfer as planned.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Miami Dade College?

Reported College Scorecard field-of-study earnings vary considerably across Miami Dade College programs. Figures for students in registered nursing are approximately $73,541 one year after completion, while the reported figure for film, video and photographic arts is approximately $20,083. These are program-level observations, not salary promises for future graduates.

The reported one-year figures also include approximately $43,702 for special education, $40,243 for business administration and $39,976 for computer and information sciences. College Scorecard earnings measures generally reflect the median among qualifying federally aided students whose earnings can be observed; they do not represent every completer. Differences in credential level, local labor markets, further study and the types of jobs graduates take all limit direct comparisons. Students should compare the exact credential behind a figure, not just its broad field name.
