How successful have the program's graduates been in finding employment in the targeted job(s)?
Calculation of job placement rates is currently in
progress. The majority of students who
receive this certification continue on to complete a Bachelor's degree in
Management or Marketing. Campus wide placement rate for 2011-12 graduates was 95%.
Do students generally graduate from the program within the expected (normal) amount of time?
This program can be completed in two years but since the
majority of our students go on to complete a Bachelor's degree they are awarded
the certificate at the same time as the B.S. degree.
What is the total cost of the program that students will need funding to cover?
This is a 60 hour certificate. The undergraduate cost per credit hour is
currently $257.31 for Missouri residents and $460.93 for Non-Missouri
residents.
How much loan debt (federal, private, school-based) do students typically incur in the program?
The campus average student loan indebtedness for those who
borrow is $22,555. Approximately 73% of
Northwest students borrow to finance their undergraduate degree. Based on 60 credit hours needed to complete
this certificate rather than 124 hours needed to complete a Bachelor's degree
we estimate the average indebtedness for this program to be $10,826.
Fewer than ten students completed this program in 2011-12 so to protect their privacy no median loan debt is reported.
