Trinidad State College

What are the graduation rates for students at Trinidad State College?

Trinidad State's reported overall graduation rate was 55% in the 2024-25 institutional data. Its reported student retention rate was 64%. These figures describe different outcomes: graduation concerns completion within a defined reporting period, while retention concerns continued enrollment.

The commonly reported federal graduation measure follows a specified group of first-time, full-time students and measures completion within 150% of a program's normal length. It does not describe every student at a community college: part-time learners, many transfer entrants, and students who leave after completing courses without a credential can fall outside that cohort. A prospective student should use the figure as one indicator, then look at outcomes for the particular program and enrollment pattern they expect to follow.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Trinidad State College?

A reliable, program-specific earnings figure is not established here for Trinidad State students one year after completing registered nursing. Prospective students should avoid treating a general salary estimate for nurses as a measured outcome for this college's graduates.

When comparing published earnings measures, check whether they cover graduates or a broader group of former students, whether they report a median or a mean, and how many years after attendance they are measured. Local job markets, further education, licensure, and hours worked can substantially change an individual's earnings. Earnings data can inform a program comparison, but it cannot predict a particular student's pay.
