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

Pennsylvania Institute of Technology's reported overall graduation rate for 2024-25 was 21%. Its reported student retention rate was 50%. These figures warrant attention, but they measure different outcomes and should not be read as the probability that any particular applicant will graduate.

Federal graduation measures commonly follow a defined group of first-time, full-time students and count completion within a specified period, often 150% of a program's normal length. Such a measure may not represent the experiences of transfer or part-time students. Retention concerns continued enrollment rather than completion. Applicants should ask for the latest completion and persistence results for their particular credential, along with an explanation of the cohort and measurement period.

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

A reliable institution-wide salary figure is not established here for Pennsylvania Institute of Technology graduates. Earnings information is most useful when it identifies the program, the population measured, whether the number is a median or mean, and how long after enrollment or completion it was recorded.

Prospective students should be wary of treating a salary figure as a forecast. Reported earnings may exclude people who cannot be matched to wage records, and pay can vary substantially by occupation, location, experience, and whether a graduate obtains a required license. For a career-focused program, compare any available earnings measure with its total cost, completion outcomes, and the entry requirements of the intended occupation.
