What are the graduation rates for students at Salish Kootenai College?

Salish Kootenai College's reported overall graduation rate was 28% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. The reported four-year and six-year rates were 2% and 5%, respectively. These measures should not be treated as three checkpoints for one identical group of students.

Federal graduation measures typically follow defined cohorts of first-time, full-time students and use time windows tied to the credential being pursued. They do not describe the eventual results of every transfer student, part-time student, or returning adult learner. SKC also reported an 82% student retention rate, which measures continued enrollment rather than graduation. For a useful personal comparison, applicants should ask about completion in their specific program and the typical course load required to finish on schedule.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Salish Kootenai College?

A reliable institution-wide salary figure for Salish Kootenai College graduates should not be inferred from its list of majors. Earnings vary by occupation, credential, location, and how long a former student has been in the workforce.

When comparing college earnings statistics, check whether a figure is a median or an average, whether it measures completers or former students more broadly, and how many years after attendance it was recorded. Small programs may have results withheld to protect privacy. Nursing, teaching, social work, and natural-resource careers also have different licensing and labor-market conditions, so a single college-wide number would be a limited guide to an individual student's prospects.
