Taft College

What are the graduation rates for students at Taft College?

Taft College's reported overall graduation rate is 28% in the IPEDS 2024-25 figures. This is a defined cohort measure, not the percentage of everyone who ever attends the college and not a prediction of an individual student's likelihood of finishing.

The standard federal graduation-rate framework follows first-time, full-time students seeking a degree or certificate and counts completion within 150% of a program's normal time. For a typical two-year associate degree, that means three years. It does not fully describe the paths of part-time students, people who begin elsewhere, or students whose principal goal is to transfer before earning a Taft credential.

The figure deserves attention when comparing colleges, but it does not establish why students do or do not complete. Applicants balancing work, family responsibilities, and classes can use a term-by-term education plan to see whether required courses are available on a realistic schedule.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Taft College?

A single reliable Taft College earnings figure is not identified here for graduates one year after completion. It would therefore be misleading to assign all students an expected salary or to treat a career-services offering as evidence of a particular employment outcome.

Earnings measures, when available, need a precise definition: whether they describe graduates or former students, when income was measured, whether the number is a median or mean, and which programs and workers are included. Results can vary markedly between an occupational certificate and a transfer-oriented associate degree. Students comparing programs should also consider licensing requirements, local job openings, transfer plans, and the costs of finishing the credential.

Taft College reports career and interest testing, résumé preparation, interview workshops, and individual and group career counseling for undergraduates. These services can assist a job search or career decision, but they should not be read as a placement guarantee.
