SAM Tech's reported overall graduation rate is 93%, and its reported student retention rate is 79%. The figures describe different outcomes: graduation tracks completion for a defined student cohort, while retention concerns students continuing their studies.
Because cohorts at a small institution can contain relatively few people, a change involving only several students may noticeably shift a percentage. The graduation rate should not be interpreted as a guarantee that a new student will finish. Applicants comparing programs should ask which entering cohort, credential, and permitted completion period are represented, particularly if they expect to attend part time or need to interrupt their studies.
A school-wide earnings promise would be misleading for SAM Tech. Pay after training depends on the job a former student obtains, experience, location, hours worked, and whether the work is in automotive machining or another field.
When comparing earnings claims, students should look for the population measured, the time since leaving school, whether the figure is a median or an average, and whether it covers only employed respondents. An occupational wage estimate is not the same thing as measured earnings for graduates of this school. Employment support and a graduation rate likewise do not establish what an individual student will earn.
