Graduation and Employment (Placement) Rates - Altoona

YTI Career Institute calculates a Graduation Rate and an Employment Rate for each program using formulas specified by our accrediting agency, the Accrediting Commission for Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC). The graduation rate formula uses a cohort of students who began school during a given 12-month reporting period as the denominator, and as the numerator, uses the number of students from that group who graduated within 150% of the program length.

The employment rate formula uses a cohort of students who began school during a given 12-month reporting period and proceeded to graduate as the denominator. Those of the cohort whose self-reported employment in their field of training, or a related field, has been verified by the school, form the numerator. The rate is calculated for the cohort after 150% of the program length has elapsed for all students in the cohort, with an additional three-month allowance for placement related activities. The Respiratory Therapy paused enrollment during this time frame for curriculum revisions, so there were no applicable students to report on. The graduation and employment/placement rates for programs from the 2025 ACCSC annual report are:

Graduation and Employment Cohort Start Date: 10/2021-9/2022
Program Title	Graduation Rate	Employment Rate	Starting Population	Graduate Population
Respiratory Therapy	46%	70%	117	54

Licensing Rates

When graduates from a particular program must pass a licensing or certification exam prior to being able to work in the field, the Accrediting Commission for Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC), our accrediting agency, requires that schools publish a licensing exam pass rate for those programs. YTI Career Institute - Altoona calculates a Licensing Rate for the Respiratory Therapy program using a formula specified by ACCSC. The formula uses a cohort of students who began school during a given 12 month reporting period, graduated, and took the licensure exam as the denominator, and as the numerator uses the number of students from that group who passed the exam.

Because of the enrollment pause, the licensing rates for Respiratory Therapy start cohorts included in the ACCSC 2025 Annual Report are:

Campus	Program	Number of Graduates	Pass	Fail	Did not take exam	Pass Percentage
Altoona	Respiratory Therapy	54	34	17	3	67%
