How to read these numbers

Total Graduates counts the students who completed the Surgical Technology/Technologist. credential during the 2024 academic year, not those currently enrolled or applied. Programs of this size can be excellent — often with closer faculty contact — but the small cohort means year-over-year completion counts can swing significantly. The gender split is based on completers in this single award year and can shift meaningfully year to year — especially in smaller cohorts — so read the percentages as a recent snapshot rather than a fixed property of the program. Because every accredited college reports the same fields to IPEDS each year, you can compare Contra Costa Medical Career College's figures against similar programs at other schools on a like-for-like basis.
