What are the graduation rates for students at Orion Technical College?

Orion Technical College's reported overall graduation rate is 81% in IPEDS 2024-25 data. It is a useful completion indicator, but not a prediction that any particular student will graduate.

IPEDS graduation measures follow defined entering cohorts and time limits; they do not necessarily describe every transfer student, part-time student, or returning adult learner. At a small college, changes involving relatively few students can also noticeably affect a percentage. Applicants should ask which credential and entering cohort are represented when comparing Orion's rate with that of a different institution.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Orion Technical College?

A College Scorecard field-of-study figure reports $44,435 in earnings one year after completion for electrical/electronic engineering technologies and technicians associated with Orion Technical College. This is a field-specific outcome, not a salary promised to every graduate or an institution-wide starting salary.

Earnings figures are affected by who is included in the measured group, local employment conditions, prior work experience, and whether former students continue their education. They are most useful when considered alongside program cost, borrowing, completion, and the kinds of jobs a credential can qualify someone to pursue.
