Western Technical College

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

Western Technical College's reported overall graduation rate is 72% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. That is a cohort measure, not a prediction that any particular student will finish.

The same figures report a student retention rate of 85%, which measures continued enrollment rather than graduation. They also list four-year and six-year graduation rates of 44% each. Those measures should not be treated as interchangeable with the overall rate: graduation statistics can follow different entering cohorts, credential types and time windows. The overall rate was reported as 71% in the preceding year, but a one-point change alone does not establish a trend in educational quality.

For a useful comparison, applicants should ask for completion figures for their particular program and credential, the cohort dates, and the share who finished within the program's stated length. A college-wide rate can obscure meaningful differences between a short certificate and a longer degree.

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

A reliable one-year earnings figure is not established here for Western Technical College's reported nursing or business administration fields. An earnings claim for either program would need to identify the students measured, the time after attendance and whether the figure is a median or another statistic.

Earnings data can help compare career paths, but it does not show what an individual graduate will make. Pay depends in part on occupation, licensure, work hours, location and prior experience. It should also be considered alongside borrowing and the probability of completing the program.

For the job search, the college reports offering résumé preparation, interview workshops, employer referrals, a job bank and job fairs. Those are services, not verified placement or salary outcomes. Applicants weighing a particular program can request its most recent documented placement methodology and results, including which graduates were counted.
