What are the graduation rates for students at Institute of World Politics?

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.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Institute of World Politics?

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.
