Programmatic Outcomes
Program national exam pass rates are based on the number of students passing the exam on the first attempt divided by the total number of students graduating from the program. Results are impacted by students who have not yet taken the exams.
Fresno City College program measurements include total pass rates for all students taking the exam (multiple attempts included). For 2024, 64% of the students who graduated have passed the California licensing exam and 100% are employed. Refer to the programmatic outcomes link for more detailed information.
