NMMI's reported overall graduation rate is 44% in the IPEDS 2024-25 data. Its reported student retention rate is 50%. These measures answer different questions: graduation tracks completion for a defined entering group over a specified period, while retention concerns continued enrollment from one year to the next.
Neither percentage describes the fate of every student who attends. Transfer plans, eligibility rules, and the measurement window matter when interpreting outcomes at a two-year college. Applicants who hope to earn an associate degree before transferring should ask how many students complete their intended program on schedule and what support is available if required courses must be repeated or rescheduled.
A single salary figure would not reliably describe the earning prospects of NMMI students. The college awards associate degrees, and many students may continue their education before entering a long-term occupation; ROTC participants can follow a different career path again.
When comparing earnings statistics for any college, check whether they cover all former students or only those with reported wages, whether they measure income one year or several years after attendance, and whether they separate programs. Earnings reflect occupation, location, additional education, and experience as well as the institution attended. For practical career planning, NMMI reports resume help, career-interest testing, and individual career counseling for full-time undergraduates.
