What are the graduation rates for students at Penn Commercial Business/Technical School?

Penn Commercial's reported overall graduation rate for 2024-25 was 84%. Its reported student retention rate was 83%. These measures are encouraging to examine, but they answer different questions and should not be read as a guarantee that a particular student will finish.

A graduation rate tracks completion for a defined entering group over a specified period; it does not describe every student who attends, including all transfers or returning adults. Retention instead measures whether students in a defined group continue their studies from one reporting point to the next. Penn Commercial's reported graduation rate has varied substantially across recent years, making the cohort and reporting period important when comparing figures.

Applicants can ask for completion information for their specific program, including the number of students who started in a cohort. Program-level results may be more relevant than a school-wide rate when training lengths and requirements differ.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Penn Commercial Business/Technical School?

No particular salary should be inferred from enrolling in or completing a Penn Commercial program. Pay depends on the occupation, credentials earned, licensing, location, hours worked, and a graduate's prior experience.

Employment assistance, a job offer, and earnings are distinct outcomes. A reported offer does not establish what an employer will pay or whether the work is in the graduate's field. When comparing programs, applicants should look for earnings figures that identify the occupation, the group measured, whether the figure is a median or an average, and how long after attendance it was collected. Federal College Scorecard earnings measures, when available for a program and cohort, describe a defined group of former federally aided students - not every graduate.
