What are the graduation rates for students at Pennsylvania College of Technology?

Penn College's reported overall graduation rate is 53% in the 2024-25 institutional data. Reported four-year and six-year rates are 37% and 45%, respectively. These measures should not be read as successive results for one identical group of students: reporting populations, credentials, and cohort definitions can differ.

The reported student retention rate is 81%, a separate measure of whether students continued their studies rather than whether they completed a credential. Graduation statistics are useful for understanding broad outcomes, but they do not predict an individual student's result. Applicants considering an associate degree, bachelor's degree, or tightly sequenced program should seek completion information for that credential and ask how often required courses are offered.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Pennsylvania College of Technology?

Federal College Scorecard figures for selected Penn College fields report median earnings measured about one year after completion for graduates represented in the federal data. They are field-level measures, not starting-salary offers or a prediction for every graduate.

Among the reported fields, the one-year median is $64,670 for registered nursing and $63,059 for building and construction finishing, management, and inspection. The corresponding figure for electromechanical technologies is $62,476; for computer software and media applications, it is $45,469. These examples show why a single institution-wide salary claim would conceal important differences among programs.

Federal earnings measures can reflect which graduates are captured in the data, local labor markets, further education, and differences within a broad field-of-study category. They do not show every graduate's earnings or subtract the cost of earning the credential. Students should compare a program's curriculum, completion prospects, likely borrowing, and relevant occupation requirements alongside its reported earnings.
