What is the graduation rate at Carrington College-Boise?

Carrington College-Boise reports a graduation rate of approximately 62% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.

How much student debt do graduates of Carrington College-Boise have?

Students who borrowed at Carrington College-Boise left with a median of approximately $15,188 in federal loans, and about 72% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.

How much do graduates of Carrington College-Boise earn?

Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $43,731 for students who received federal financial aid at Carrington College-Boise. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
