This research brief describes college attainment for students pursuing professional-technical education. Using a cohort of 36,700 first-time in college (FTIC) students who started college between 2010 and 2012, this analysis focuses on students whose goal in their final year was a professional-technical education. The cohort was given four years (twice the time to earn a two-year degree) to account for part-time status and stopping out. At the end of the four-year period, students are measured for their highest attainment. The analysis also looks at what happens to students after they leave college. 25,000 students in the cohort are measured for employment one year after leaving the college. These students are divided into "completers" (defined as having completed a certificate or an associate degree) and non-completers and track field of study and levels of attainment leading up to their post-college employment. Throughout the brief, the analyses are disaggregated by sex and race/ethnicity. Among the key findings are: (1) Completers are more likely to be employed and earn more than non-completers; (2) Employment prospects after college determined by the returns for full-time employment and earnings vary by program area. Historically underserved students of color (HU-SOC) are underrepresented among completers of higher labor market return programs and overrepresented in lower return programs; (3) Returns to associate degrees are higher than certificates. This is especially true for women; and (4) About 30 percent of students in the starting cohort earned an associate degree or certificate within four years. Another 10 percent have not earned any credentials within four years, but are still enrolled in the same or another college in a fifth-year snapshot. Almost 60 percent of all professional-technical students in our starting cohort exited with no credential after 4 years.
