Truckee Meadows Community College

What are the graduation rates for students at Truckee Meadows Community College?

TMCC's reported overall graduation rate is 32% in the IPEDS 2024-25 figures. That is a defined cohort measure, not the share of every person who enrolls and eventually earns a credential.

Federal graduation-rate reporting generally follows first-time, full-time students who complete within a specified period. Community colleges also enroll part-time students, returning adults, and students who transfer before earning a TMCC award, so this measure does not describe every educational path. It remains useful for asking how a particular program supports progress, but it should not be treated as a prediction of an individual student's outcome.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Truckee Meadows Community College?

Earnings after TMCC depend on the credential, occupation, location, and student's prior experience; no single salary describes the college's graduates. A program-specific earnings figure is useful only when its source, population, and measurement date are clear.

For example, College Scorecard earnings measures generally cover federally aided former students with earnings captured in administrative records, rather than every graduate. A figure measured one year after completion would also describe an early career stage, not lifetime earning potential. Applicants comparing programs should pair any published earnings measure with completion costs, licensing requirements, local job opportunities, and whether graduates commonly continue their education.
