Graduation
By 2030, the five-year graduation rates for degree-seeking students will exceed 50%, so that more than half of all degree-seeking students who enroll at Valencia College in the 2025-26 academic year will complete an associate degree from Valencia by summer of 2030.
At Valencia College, we’ve always believed in the power of education to transform
lives and communities. And, while Valencia College’s most recent five-year graduation
rate (37.3%) marks a record high, there is still work to do. Creating a community
where all students have the same opportunity to succeed means more than simply opening
your doors and letting students in. It means finding ways to help them succeed.
