What are the graduation rates for students at Sitting Bull College?

Sitting Bull College's reported overall graduation rate is 22% in IPEDS 2024-25 data. This is a cohort-based measure, not the share of all students enrolled in a given year who eventually earn a credential.

Federal graduation-rate reporting generally follows first-time, full-time students and measures completion within 150% of a program's normal length. That definition leaves out many transfer students and people who began part time; it may also miss students who finish after the reporting window. The rate is useful for understanding one defined group's outcomes, but it cannot predict an individual student's likelihood of graduating or explain why students did not complete within the measured period.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Sitting Bull College?

Program-level earnings figures are not a reliable basis for comparing Sitting Bull College's listed fields in the available College Scorecard one-year-after-completion information. Students should avoid treating an unreported figure as zero earnings - or as evidence that one major pays better than another.

Even when a federal earnings figure is published, its definition matters. College Scorecard measures earnings for a specified group of former students who meet its reporting criteria, at a specified time after attendance or completion; it does not describe every graduate or guarantee a salary. Occupation, location, further education, and the number of people represented can all affect its usefulness. For career planning, students can pair any published outcome measures with information about a program's credential, licensure pathway, and local job opportunities.
