The following information is provided in compliance with federal regulations as found in Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations (34 CFR 668.41(d)(4)).

During the fall 2022 semester, 499 first-time, full-time, degree- or certificate-seeking students enrolled at Laramie County Community College (LCCC). Of this group, 307 students (61.52%) were still enrolled at LCCC or had graduated as of October 2023.

The table below shows the percent of degree- or certificate-seeking students who started at LCCC in the fall term and continued to the spring term. Students who graduated at the end of the fall term are counted as continuing ("persisting") even if they did not enroll in the spring term, since they successfully persisted to complete their credential.

Notes:
Pathway Cohort - The main pathway cohort consists of all students who have a single program under the purview of the listed pathway LCCC in the given fall semester (2022).

FTIC Cohort (first-time in college cohort) - The FTIC cohort consists of all students who are entering college for the first time as college freshmen in the given fall semester.

LCCC runs three alumni surveys each year to learn more about the workforce and transfer outcomes of its graduates. Below are some basic outcomes from this survey. Please note that the response rate for 2022 Spring - 2023 Spring graduates is only 10.4% and varies by pathway, so some data are not reported due to small counts.

Graduates of Programs Designed for Direct Entry into the Workforce (CTE Programs)

Programs that are designed for direct entry into the workforce are commonly referred to as career and technical education, or CTE, programs. At LCCC, all programs, excluding associate or arts (AA) and associate of science (AS) degrees, are considered CTE programs. The median salary outcomes displayed below reflect the responses of 2022 Spring - 2023 Spring CTE alumni who were employed full-time in a job "somewhat" or "directly" related to their program of study six months after graduation.
