What are the graduation rates for students at Northwest Florida State College?

Northwest Florida State College's reported overall graduation rate is 39% in the 2024-25 IPEDS data. That figure describes a defined entering cohort measured over the federal reporting period; it is not the percentage of everyone who attends the college who will eventually earn a credential.

Federal graduation measures commonly follow first-time, full-time students who complete within 150% of a program's normal length. That framework can leave out outcomes important at a college with part-time students, transfers, and students who move to another institution before completing a credential. The rate should therefore be read alongside a program's course sequence, transfer expectations, and any available program-specific completion or licensing results.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Northwest Florida State College?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings measured about one year after completion for qualifying students with usable earnings records; they do not predict what an individual Northwest Florida State College student will earn. In the reported figures, registered nursing is associated with $57,167, while business administration is associated with $36,737.

The corresponding figure for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods is $35,708. These are different fields with different occupations, credential requirements, and labor markets, so the numbers are not a controlled comparison of program quality. Earnings data also exclude some students and do not capture every form of employment, further education, benefits, or later career growth.
