Skagit Valley College

What are the graduation rates for students at Skagit Valley College?

Skagit Valley College's reported overall graduation rate is 36% in the 2024-25 institutional data. The figure is a defined completion measure, not a prediction that any particular student has a 36% chance of graduating.

Federal graduation-rate measures generally follow a specified entering group of first-time, full-time, degree- or certificate-seeking students for a set period, often 150% of a credential's normal length. They therefore do not describe every community-college student equally well: part-time students, many returning adults and students who transfer before earning a credential at Skagit Valley College may fall outside the measured outcome.

The reported rate was 34% in the preceding available year. The change is useful context, but a small movement between cohorts does not by itself explain why students completed, transferred or stopped attending. Applicants comparing programs should also ask about program-level completion, licensure results where relevant and transfer outcomes.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Skagit Valley College?

A reliable one-year earnings figure is not available here for graduates of Skagit Valley College's natural-resources conservation, health and medical administration, or business administration programs. Those programs should not be ranked by income using an absent or suppressed College Scorecard figure.

When earnings figures are available, students should read the measure carefully: the College Scorecard's program-level earnings measures reflect a defined group of former students and a specified time after leaving school, not a salary promised to every graduate. Occupation, additional education, work experience and the local labor market all affect later pay. For a career program, earnings are most useful alongside its credential requirements, employment opportunities and total cost.
