Course success is defined as receiving a grade of A, B or C in a class.
The following data shows the course success rate for all courses taught at Amarillo College during the previous five Fall and Spring semesters.
Our goal is to achieve an 85% overall course success rate by 2025.
The following data shows the course success rate for all non-dual credit courses taught at Amarillo College during the previous five Fall and Spring semesters.
The following data shows the course success rate for all dual credit courses taught at Amarillo College during the previous five Fall and Spring semesters.
The following data shows the course success rate for all online courses taught at Amarillo College during the previous five Fall and Spring semesters.
Amarillo College designates a course as a gateway course if course enrollment is high but success rates are low. The following courses are designated as gateway courses: Biology for Science Majors I (BIOL-1406), Biology for Science Majors II (BIOL-1407), Anatomy and Physiology I (BIOL-2401), Anatomy and Physiology II (BIOL-2402), Principles of Chemistry I (CHEM-1311), Principles of Chemistry II (CHEM-1312), Composition I (ENGL-1301), Composition II (ENGL-1302), United States History I (HIST-1301), United States History II (HIST-1302), College Algebra (MATH-1314), College Algebra/STEM (MATH-1414), and General Psychology (PSYC-2301).
Our goal is to achieve a 80% gateway course success rate by 2025.
Fall-to-Fall retention is a primary metric in regards to Amarillo College’s commitment to increasing the number of students who complete a certificate, degree, and/or transfer to a 4-year institution while focusing on decreasing the time it takes to complete a degree. The most accurate way to measure time to completion is to base it on First-Time-In-College (FTIC) cohorts so we track retention based on the same cohorts. The following data shows the Fall-to-Fall retention rate for Fall FTIC students.
Our goal is to achieve a 75% Fall-to-Fall retention rate by 2025.
The most accurate way to measure graduation rates is to base it on First-Time-In-College (FTIC) cohorts. The following data shows the three-year graduation rate for Fall FTIC students.
The current five-year average three-year graduation rate is 26.2%. Our goal is to achieve a 48% graduation rate by 2025.
Another measure of completion is the rate at which Fall FTIC students transfer to 4-year institutions within three years.
The current five-year average three-year transfer rate is 15.88%. Our goal is to achieve a 36% transfer rate by 2025.
The following data shows the number of students that graduated from a workforce program (AAS or Certificate program), the employment rate one year after graduation, and the median annual wage for those who were employed.
The current five-year average one year after graduation employment rate is 86.75%. Our goal is to achieve a 90% employment rate by 2025.
