Santa Fe College

What are the graduation rates for students at Santa Fe College?

Santa Fe College's reported overall graduation rate is 53% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. That is a cohort measure, not the percentage of everyone who has ever enrolled at the college who ultimately earns a credential.

Federal graduation-rate measures generally follow first-time, full-time students through a defined completion window - typically 150% of a program's normal length. They do not fully describe outcomes for part-time students or students who arrive with previous college credit, and a student who transfers before graduating from Santa Fe may not appear as a Santa Fe graduate in that measure.

For an individual decision, the more useful comparison is often the outcome for the intended credential and program. A transfer-focused student should examine transfer progress as well as graduation, while a career-program applicant should ask about completion and any required licensing exam.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Santa Fe College?

College Scorecard program figures reported for one year after completion vary substantially by field at Santa Fe College. The reported figure is $71,892 for registered nursing, compared with $38,622 for health and medical administrative services, $37,954 for business administration, and $26,968 for teacher education in the listed program categories.

These are program-level earnings measures for the population represented in the federal data, not starting-salary offers or predictions for every graduate. They should not be read as evidence that choosing one program alone causes a particular income: credential level, employment, further study, location, prior work experience, and which former students are captured all affect interpretation.

Career support is a separate consideration from measured earnings. Santa Fe reports access to individual career counseling, résumé and interview assistance, job-search resources, job fairs, and employer recruiting. An appointment can help a student connect a major to occupations or prepare an application; it is not a job-placement guarantee.
