Solano Community College

What are the graduation rates for students at Solano Community College?

Solano Community College's reported overall graduation rate is 36% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. That measure should be read as a defined cohort outcome, not as the share of all students who ever complete a credential.

Federal graduation-rate reporting for two-year colleges traditionally focuses on first-time, full-time, degree- or certificate-seeking students who finish within 150% of the program's normal time. It can leave out students who begin part time, transfer before receiving a Solano credential, or finish later. The reported rate has risen from 26% in the 2019 figures, but the statistic alone cannot explain why completion changed.

Applicants comparing programs should look beyond the college-wide figure. A certificate, an associate degree, and a transfer plan have different milestones; a student intending to transfer may succeed academically without appearing as a Solano graduate in this measure.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Solano Community College?

No single earnings figure can reliably describe the outcomes of all Solano Community College students. Earnings depend on the program, whether a student transfers, further credentials, work experience, location, and the time elapsed since leaving college.

For program comparisons, federal College Scorecard earnings measures - when published for a field - must be read with their stated student population and measurement date. They do not necessarily cover every former student, and a figure measured soon after completion may differ substantially from later-career earnings. Prospective students can use such figures alongside program costs, licensing requirements, and local job opportunities rather than treating a reported salary as a promised result.
