What are the graduation rates for students at Oglala Lakota College?

Oglala Lakota College's reported overall graduation rate was 9% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. Its reported four-year rate was 0%, while its six-year rate was 9%. The reported student retention rate was 62%.

These graduation measures follow defined groups of students over specified periods; they are not the percentage of all people who ever enroll and eventually finish. Standard federal graduation-rate cohorts can also leave out students who begin part time or transfer in - important qualifications at a college serving adult learners. The figures warrant attention, but they do not establish why students did or did not complete a credential.

Prospective students can make the statistic more useful by asking their intended department for a course-by-course degree plan, the frequency of required classes, and the time to completion for students with a similar enrollment pattern.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Oglala Lakota College?

For Oglala Lakota College's business administration field, the reported earnings figure is $34,064 one year after completion. It is a field-specific, early-career measure - not a salary promised to an individual graduate or a measure of earnings across every OLC program.

College Scorecard program earnings reflect graduates whose earnings can be observed under the measure's rules; small groups may not produce a publishable figure. Earnings also vary with occupation, location, further education, hours worked, and prior experience. Students evaluating a program should consider this figure alongside its cost, completion requirements, licensure pathway where relevant, and the kinds of jobs it prepares them to seek.
