Walla Walla Community College

What are the graduation rates for students at Walla Walla Community College?

WWCC's reported overall graduation rate was 38% in IPEDS 2024-25 data. This is a defined cohort measure, not the percentage of everyone who attends WWCC and eventually earns a credential.

The commonly reported community-college graduation measure follows first-time, full-time students seeking a degree or certificate and counts completion within 150% of a program's normal time. It can omit outcomes for students who began part time, transferred in, or completed after that window. WWCC's reported rate was 47% in the preceding data year, but a year-to-year change should not be interpreted without examining cohort composition and definitions. A prospective student may find it more useful to ask about completion and transfer outcomes for their intended program, along with typical course availability and time to finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Walla Walla Community College?

A WWCC credential does not imply a particular salary. Earnings vary by occupation, location, further education, prior work experience, and whether a student completes the intended program.

When comparing programs, students should look for an earnings measure that identifies the credential and field, specifies when earnings were measured, and explains who was counted. A figure for former students receiving federal aid, for example, may not represent every graduate; a one-year figure can also differ greatly from later-career earnings. Occupational wages, program costs, licensing requirements, and transfer plans provide useful context. Career advising can help a student investigate those factors, but it should not be mistaken for a verified employment or salary outcome.
