What are the graduation rates for students at Unitek College?

Unitek College's reported overall graduation rate was 73% in the 2024-25 institutional data. Its reported student retention rate was 89%. These are different measures: retention tracks continued enrollment over a defined interval, while graduation tracks completion for a specified entering group.

The reported four-year and six-year graduation rates were both 63%. Readers should not assume these figures follow one identical group of students from year four to year six; federal completion measures can use different cohorts and eligibility definitions. Nor does an institution-wide rate predict the outcome of a student in a particular Fremont program.

For a more useful comparison, ask for the current program's completion rate, the period used to calculate it, and - where licensing applies - its examination pass rate. Those measures answer different questions and should be considered separately.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Unitek College?

A student's likely earnings after Unitek College depend on the credential earned, whether the student obtains a required license, the occupation entered, work hours, and the local labor market. An institution-wide salary claim would obscure those differences.

For nursing in particular, compare outcomes for the exact credential under consideration: vocational nurse, associate-degree registered nurse, and bachelor's-degree registered nurse pathways do not lead to identical roles. Published wage figures from an occupational source describe workers in a field, not necessarily recent Unitek graduates. Job-placement claims and wages should likewise be evaluated separately, with attention to the graduating class and measurement date.
