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.
