Pathways College

What are the graduation rates for students at Pathways College?

Applicants should not use a national or Arizona graduation-rate average as Pathways College's own completion rate. To evaluate outcomes, ask the college for a recent, clearly defined completion measure for the credential under consideration.

Traditional federal graduation rates often follow first-time, full-time students over a set period. That group may represent only part of a small college's enrollment and may not describe a student who attends part time, transfers credits, or returns to education later. A useful institutional figure identifies the entering cohort, credential level, time allowed to finish, and number of students included; retention and completion measure different outcomes.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Pathways College?

No reliable program-level earnings figure should be inferred for Pathways College from the reported liberal arts or business fields of study. In particular, a field name alone cannot establish what its former students earn one year after leaving college.

When comparing any future earnings statistic, check whether it describes graduates or all former students, whether it reports a median or an average, and how long after attendance income was measured. Small programs can also have figures withheld to protect privacy. Earnings reflect factors beyond the credential - including occupation, location, prior experience, and further education - and should be considered alongside completion, cost, and career support.
