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

Spokane Community College's reported overall graduation rate is 33% in the 2024-25 institutional data. This is a defined cohort measure, not the percentage of all enrolled students who eventually finish a credential.

Federal graduation-rate measures typically follow first-time, full-time, degree- or certificate-seeking students over a specified completion window. They therefore do not describe every SCC student, including many part-time students, people who begin elsewhere, or those who transfer before earning an SCC credential. The reported rate was 37% in the preceding year, so the two figures should not be read as a prediction for an individual applicant.

Prospective students can make this statistic more useful by pairing it with program-specific questions: How many terms does the required sequence take? How often are required courses offered? Does the program require a separate application after prerequisites? Those details may matter more to an individual completion plan than a collegewide rate alone.

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

A single earnings figure would not adequately describe the outcomes of Spokane Community College students, who pursue different occupations and transfer paths. Earnings after a workforce certificate, for example, answer a different question from earnings after completing a bachelor's degree elsewhere.

When comparing published earnings measures, students should check whether the figure is a median or mean, how long after attendance it was measured, and whether it covers all former students or only those included in a particular administrative dataset. Earnings also reflect occupation, local labor markets, prior work experience, and whether a person continues studying. For a career-focused SCC program, licensing eligibility, placement information, and typical wages for the intended occupation provide useful context alongside any college-level outcome measure.
