Skyline College

What are the graduation rates for students at Skyline College?

Skyline College's reported overall graduation rate is 44% in the 2024-25 institutional data, up from 41% in the preceding reported year. The figure describes a defined reporting cohort, not the chance that any newly admitted student will graduate.

Federal graduation-rate measures commonly follow first-time, full-time students seeking a degree or certificate and count completion within a prescribed period - typically 150% of a program's normal length. That approach can leave out much of a community college's activity, including students who begin part time, enter with prior college experience, or leave after completing transfer preparation without earning a Skyline credential. Students comparing colleges should use the same cohort definition and consider transfer and longer-term completion measures alongside graduation rates.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Skyline College?

A reliable one-year earnings figure for Skyline College's allied health diagnostic, intervention, and treatment programs is not available in the cited College Scorecard program measure. It would therefore be misleading to assign that field a typical post-completion salary.

Even where a program earnings figure is published, its usefulness depends on who was included, when earnings were measured, and whether the statistic is a median or another measure. It may not represent every completer, a starting wage, or earnings in a particular Bay Area occupation. For a career program, students can pair any published earnings evidence with its credential requirements, licensing rules, local job postings, and the total cost and time needed to qualify.
