The familiar four-year and six-year graduation rates used to compare undergraduate colleges are not appropriate measures of IWP's graduate programs. Those federal measures primarily track first-time undergraduate degree-seeking students, while IWP's students pursue graduate credentials.
A more useful completion question is how many students in the intended program finish, and how long completion takes for full-time and part-time students. Working professionals, in particular, should compare the required credits and course schedule with the time they can realistically devote to study.
A single salary figure would be a poor summary of the potential earnings associated with an IWP credential. Pay in national security and international affairs depends heavily on occupation, prior experience, employer, security-clearance requirements, and location.
When evaluating any graduate earnings statistic, students should check whether it covers this institution and program, whether it reports a median or an average, and how long after completion earnings were measured. An outcome for graduates working in a particular field is not a salary guarantee for a new enrollee.
