San Antonio College

What are the graduation rates for students at San Antonio College?

San Antonio College's reported overall graduation rate is 26% in the 2024-25 institutional data. That figure describes a defined entering cohort and measurement period; it is not the percentage of every student who will eventually earn a credential.

For a two-year college, the commonly reported federal graduation measure follows first-time, full-time, degree- or certificate-seeking students for 150% of their program's normal completion time. For a two-year associate program, that is generally three years. Students who begin part time, transfer in, or take longer are not represented in the same way, and transfer without a San Antonio College award is not a graduation in this measure.

The rate is useful as one completion indicator, particularly when considered alongside a program's expected length and required course sequence. It does not, by itself, explain why students leave, transfer, pause enrollment, or take more time.

What is the earning potential for graduates at San Antonio College?

Earnings should be evaluated by specific credential and occupation, not treated as a guaranteed return from attending San Antonio College. The available college-level information does not support a reliable single salary figure for all of its graduates or for its nursing students one year after completion.

Federal earnings measures, when published for a program, generally describe a specified group of former students at a stated point after attendance or completion. They may exclude people who are not working or whose earnings cannot be measured in the underlying records. Pay also varies with location, hours worked, licensing, further education, and prior experience.

For a career-focused program, a more useful comparison combines its required time and cost, any licensure steps, local job requirements, and appropriately defined earnings data. Transfer-oriented students may not enter their intended profession until after completing additional education elsewhere.
