What are the graduation rates for students at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology?

The reported overall graduation rate for Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology is 71%, while reported student retention is 75%. The graduation measure is an outcome for a defined group of entering students, not the probability that any individual applicant will finish.

Because Thaddeus Stevens primarily awards two-year credentials, these figures should not be interpreted as four-year or six-year bachelor's-degree graduation rates. Retention measures continued enrollment over a reporting interval; graduation measures completion under a different definition and time frame. Neither figure shows whether a particular major's students finish on schedule. Applicants comparing programs should ask about the expected course sequence and the availability of required classes if a course must be repeated.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology?

There is no reliable single earnings figure here that can be stated as what Thaddeus Stevens graduates earn one year after graduation. Earnings should be interpreted by program, measurement year, and population rather than treated as a salary promised by a college.

For example, a published median may cover only former students with sufficient reported earnings records; it may not represent everyone who completed a program, continued studying, became self-employed, or worked outside the reporting system. Starting pay also differs substantially by occupation, employer, location, and experience. When comparing technical programs, students should look for a clearly labeled earnings measure alongside completion outcomes, likely job duties, and the cost of attendance.
