What are the graduation rates for students at Phoenix College?

Phoenix College's reported overall graduation rate is 14% in the 2024-25 institutional data. This is a defined federal completion measure, not the share of every person who ever took a class and eventually earned a credential.

The standard IPEDS graduation-rate measure focuses on a cohort of first-time, full-time, degree- or certificate-seeking students and tracks completion within 150% of the program's normal time. For a two-year program, that commonly means three years. It does not fully describe outcomes for part-time students, transfer-in students, or students who leave to finish a credential elsewhere.

The rate is useful when comparing similarly defined cohorts, but it cannot by itself explain why students did or did not finish. Prospective students should pair it with questions about the completion pattern of their specific program, course availability, transfer goals, and the number of credits they can realistically take each term.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Phoenix College?

No single earnings figure adequately describes the likely financial outcome of attending Phoenix College. Earnings can differ substantially by occupation, credential, further education, location, and time since enrollment.

When comparing published earnings estimates, students should check exactly who was measured and when. A figure for former students receiving federal aid is not necessarily a figure for all graduates; a median is not a starting salary or a promise about an individual's pay. Field-level figures can also cover small groups or omit students whose earnings cannot be observed in the underlying records.

Phoenix College offers career support, including career exploration, résumé and interview preparation, job-search resources, and employer events. Those services may assist a search, but their availability is not evidence of a particular job-placement or salary outcome. For career-focused programs, local job requirements and any needed license are as important to investigate as an earnings estimate.
