SUNY College of Technology at Canton

What are the graduation rates for students at SUNY College of Technology at Canton?

SUNY Canton's reported overall graduation rate is 38%. Reported four-year and six-year completion measures are 36% and 42%, respectively. These figures describe defined groups of students over specified periods; they do not predict whether a particular student will graduate.

Completion statistics need care at a college offering both associate and bachelor's degrees. An overall graduation measure and measures tracked over four or six years may use different cohorts or definitions, so they should not be treated as interchangeable stages in one student group's progress. The reported student retention rate is 69%, another useful indicator that measures continued enrollment rather than degree completion.

Applicants comparing outcomes should look for figures tied to their intended credential and ask how transfers, part-time enrollment, and changes of major are represented. The institution-wide numbers alone cannot explain why students leave, continue elsewhere, or take longer than a standard program length.

What is the earning potential for graduates at SUNY College of Technology at Canton?

Program-level College Scorecard figures report earnings measured one year after completion for eligible former students, rather than guaranteed starting salaries for all graduates. The available figures vary substantially by field, and they should not be used to infer that two students with different credentials or career plans will have similar outcomes.

For example, the reported one-year figure for registered nursing is $71,468. The corresponding figure is $39,478 for computer and information sciences and $40,440 for legal support services. These are field-level measures, not offers a graduate should expect from an employer.

College Scorecard program earnings are based on the students covered by its federal data and reporting rules. They do not capture every graduate's experience, and a field-level figure may not distinguish all of the jobs or credentials that applicants have in mind. Local labor markets, further education, licensure, work hours, and prior experience can also affect earnings. Students should compare the figure for the exact program and credential they are considering with its likely costs and any professional entry requirements.
