Western Nevada College

What are the graduation rates for students at Western Nevada College?

Western Nevada College's reported overall graduation rate is 41% in the 2024-25 institutional data. The comparable reported figure was 37% in the preceding year, suggesting an improvement for the measured cohorts, not a prediction for any individual student.

Graduation-rate measures commonly track a defined group of first-time, full-time students who complete within a specified period. They can leave out much of a community college's experience, including part-time students, returning adults and students who transfer before earning a WNC credential. A student comparing outcomes should check the cohort and time period attached to any rate, then consider transfer and program-completion measures alongside it.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Western Nevada College?

No single salary figure describes the earnings prospects of Western Nevada College students. Pay depends on the occupation, local labor market, prior work experience, additional education and whether a credential is tied to professional licensing.

College Scorecard field-of-study earnings, when reported, are typically based on a defined group of federally aided former students measured after completion; they are not starting-salary offers to every graduate. Small programs and differing employment paths can make comparisons particularly difficult. Someone weighing business against a construction-related program, for example, should compare the actual jobs each credential prepares them for, the education those jobs require and occupational wage information - not assume that similarly named degrees lead to the same work.
