Northwest Vista College

What are the graduation rates for students at Northwest Vista College?

Northwest Vista College's reported overall graduation rate is 32% in the IPEDS 2024-25 figures. This is a cohort measure, not the percentage of all enrolled students who graduate in a given year.

For a two-year institution, the commonly reported federal graduation-rate measure follows first-time, full-time, degree- or certificate-seeking entrants through 150% of the normal program length - typically three years for an associate degree. It therefore does not describe every part-time student, returning adult or transfer-in student. It can also omit a student who transfers to a university without first earning a Northwest Vista credential.

The figure is useful for understanding completion within the specified window, but it does not by itself explain why students leave or whether they continue their education elsewhere. A prospective transfer student should consider both credential completion and progress toward the requirements of the intended bachelor's program.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Northwest Vista College?

A reliable Northwest Vista-specific, program-level earnings figure is not established here. Students should not interpret a general salary claim - or a figure for a different Alamo College - as a prediction of what Northwest Vista alumni will earn.

When comparing published earnings outcomes, check whether the figure is a median or an average, which former students are counted, and how many years have passed since attendance or completion. Earnings may reflect the local labor market, prior work experience and further study as well as the credential itself. For students intending to transfer, a short-term earnings measure after community college may be especially incomplete because some former students are still studying.

Northwest Vista's career support is more directly relevant to an individual job search. Reported services include career counseling and interest exploration, résumé help, interview preparation, job-search resources and employer events. Those services should not be confused with a verified job-placement rate.
