What are the graduation rates for students at Northwest University-Center for Online and Extended Education?

Reported completion outcomes for the center include an overall graduation rate of 50% in IPEDS 2024-25 data. The reported four-year rate is 26%, while the six-year rate is 41%.

These measures should not be treated as interchangeable percentages for every student now enrolled. Federal graduation-rate measures generally follow defined entering cohorts over specified periods; a four-year rate and a six-year rate may refer to different entering cohorts. They also do not fully describe the experiences of transfer students or adults who attend part time. The reported student-retention rate is 50%, a separate measure concerned with continued enrollment rather than eventual degree completion. For a practical comparison, ask the program for outcomes specific to its degree, delivery format, and student population.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Northwest University-Center for Online and Extended Education?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures offer a limited view of earnings approximately one year after program completion. Among the center's reported fields, the figure for registered nursing is $67,822; business administration is $40,529. Theological and ministerial studies is reported at $33,021, and public relations, advertising, and applied communication at $36,113.

These are historical figures for the students included in each reported field, not starting-salary offers or predictions for an individual graduate. The field labels may combine related programs, and the figures alone do not identify a particular student's degree level, employment hours, location, or career path. They should be considered alongside program cost, licensing requirements, and employment opportunities. A reader should also consult the Scorecard's measure definitions and cohort details before interpreting a figure as a median or comparing it directly with another school's differently reported outcome.
