What are the graduation rates for students at Valencia College?

Valencia College's reported overall graduation rate is 48% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. That is a cohort-based measure, not a prediction of whether a newly enrolled student will graduate.

Federal graduation-rate measures commonly follow first-time, full-time students and assess completion within a defined period, often 150% of a program's normal length. They do not describe every student equally well at a college with part-time students, returning adults, certificate seekers, and students whose goal is to transfer. A student comparing outcomes should check the precise cohort and completion window attached to the rate and, when transfer is the goal, consider transfer outcomes alongside graduation.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Valencia College?

Program-level College Scorecard figures report median earnings about one year after completion for qualifying federally aided students in certain Valencia College programs. They describe an observed group, not the salary an individual graduate can expect.

The reported one-year figure is $62,028 for electrical and electronic engineering technologies and $59,471 for allied health diagnostic, intervention, and treatment professions. These are program-category figures rather than promised starting salaries for every occupation within a category. Earnings can vary with the credential, licensing, prior experience, location, hours worked, and whether a student continues studying.

Short-term earnings are useful for comparing some pathways, but they are incomplete measures of value. In particular, they do not show every completer's earnings, account for all employment circumstances, or capture the longer-term effects of transferring for a bachelor's degree.
