What are the graduation rates for students at Texas College?

Texas College's reported six-year graduation rate in IPEDS 2024-25 data is 14%; its four-year rate is 7%. These are cohort measures, not predictions of what will happen to an individual student.

Federal graduation-rate measures generally follow first-time, full-time students who begin at an institution and complete there within a specified period. They therefore do not describe every transfer student or every student attending part time. Texas College's reported student retention rate is 34%, a separate measure of continued enrollment rather than degree completion.

The completion figures make it especially useful to ask how a chosen major's courses are scheduled, what academic advising is available, and how credits will apply to the degree. The rates alone do not establish why individual students leave or how many complete a degree elsewhere.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Texas College?

College Scorecard data reported for October 2026 gives a one-year earnings figure of $26,010 for Texas College's criminal justice and corrections field. This is a reported outcome for the measured graduates in that field, not a starting-salary offer or an expected salary for every student.

Scorecard field-of-study earnings generally concern graduates who received federal aid and had measurable earnings after completion. The figure should be read with its one-year timing, covered population, and program definition in mind. It does not capture every graduate, establish that the degree caused the earnings, or account fully for later career growth. Applicants comparing programs should consider likely borrowing and completion time alongside earnings, particularly when a small program may produce limited reportable outcomes.
