North Seattle College

What are the graduation rates for students at North Seattle College?

North Seattle College's reported overall graduation rate is 33% in the 2024-25 institutional data. This is a defined cohort measure, not the percentage of everyone who enrolls and eventually earns a credential.

The commonly reported federal graduation-rate measure follows first-time, full-time students seeking a degree or certificate and asks whether they complete within 150% of the program's normal time. That definition leaves out many part-time and returning students and does not count a student as a North Seattle graduate merely because they transfer elsewhere. The reported rate was 32% in the preceding data point, but a one-point change alone says little about the experience of a particular program or cohort.

Prospective students should interpret the figure alongside their own intended pathway. A student aiming to transfer without first earning a North Seattle credential, for example, has a different objective from a student entering a short certificate program.

What is the earning potential for graduates at North Seattle College?

The College Scorecard reports median earnings of $71,531 one year after completion for North Seattle's Computer Programming program. It is a program-level measure for graduates with matched earnings information, not a starting-salary offer or a prediction for every student.

Federal program earnings measures focus on particular cohorts of federally aided completers and may exclude people whose earnings cannot be matched. Earnings also reflect prior work experience, location, occupation, and further study - not only the credential. Students comparing careers should weigh this one-year figure against program cost, completion requirements, and the kinds of jobs they intend to seek.
