St Petersburg College

What are the graduation rates for students at St Petersburg College?

St. Petersburg College's reported overall graduation rate is 38% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. This is a defined cohort measure, not the percentage of everyone who enrolled at SPC and eventually earned a credential.

Standard federal graduation-rate measures focus on specified groups of entering students and a set period tied to a program's normal length. They can therefore leave out students whose attendance or enrollment history falls outside the cohort definition, including many part-time and transfer students. SPC's rate was 37% in the preceding reported year and 33% in 2019; those figures show the reported measure over time, not the outcome of a single class of students.

A prospective student comparing colleges should ask about completion and transfer outcomes for the particular credential and attendance pattern they expect to follow. An institution-wide rate cannot by itself explain why students did or did not complete.

What is the earning potential for graduates at St Petersburg College?

Program-level College Scorecard figures provide a limited view of former SPC students' earnings one year after completion. The reported amounts vary substantially by field: registered nursing is listed at $65,133, dental support services at $60,802, computer and information technology administration at $48,790, and business administration at $42,700.

These are historical earnings measures for the students captured in each program's reporting population, not starting-salary offers or predictions for every graduate. Program-level Scorecard earnings are generally reported as medians for eligible federally aided students with measurable earnings; they do not describe every student or every job. Location, prior experience, further education and whether a person works full time can all affect what an individual earns.

Career support is a separate consideration from earnings statistics. SPC students can use career-planning and job-search resources, but an earnings figure does not establish that a particular service caused an employment outcome. Applicants comparing occupations should also examine licensing steps and likely education beyond an SPC credential.
