Oak Valley College

What are the graduation rates for students at Oak Valley College?

Oak Valley College reports an 82% student-retention rate. Retention describes continued enrollment over a defined interval; it is not a graduation rate and should not be read as the share of all students who eventually earn a degree.

A historical overall graduation-rate figure was 38% for 2022. Graduation measures usually follow a particular entering cohort over a specified period, so that figure should not be applied to every current student or program. Small cohorts can also cause rates to change substantially when only a few students have different outcomes. Applicants comparing completion statistics should check the cohort, credential level, and measurement period used for each figure.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Oak Valley College?

A reliable one-year-after-completion earnings figure for Oak Valley College's identified business administration field is not established here. It would therefore be misleading to attach a salary prediction to enrollment in that program.

Even when a program earnings figure is reported, students need to know whether it is a median or an average, which former students are included, and when earnings were measured. Such figures can inform comparisons, but they do not isolate the effect of a degree from prior work experience, local labor-market conditions, or further education. Oak Valley reports career support that includes resume preparation, interview practice, career counseling, employer referrals, and alumni networking; those services are opportunities for assistance, not verified employment outcomes.
