What are the graduation rates for students at Seattle Film Institute?

Seattle Film Institute's reported overall graduation rate for 2024-25 is 57%. Its reported student retention rate is 78%; retention tracks continued enrollment, while graduation measures completion for a defined group of entering students.

A graduation rate is not the share of all students who happened to finish in that year. Federal completion measures generally follow a specified entering cohort over a prescribed period, so they may not describe the experience of transfer students or students entering a different credential. The school's reported overall rate was 89% in the preceding year, a sizable change that calls for caution when using any single year to predict an individual outcome, particularly at a small institution.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Seattle Film Institute?

Prospective Seattle Film Institute students should assess career prospects by program and occupation rather than rely on a single institution-wide salary expectation. Film careers encompass work with different pay structures, including salaried positions, contract projects, and self-employment.

When comparing earnings figures from federal sources, check whether they describe former students who received federal aid, which credential and field they cover, and how many years after attendance earnings were measured. A median is the midpoint among people included in a calculation, not a promised starting salary. Portfolio quality, location, experience, and periods between projects can also affect what an individual earns.
