How much student loan debt does a typical graduate have to repay after graduation?

The median loan debt of the program’s graduates is defined as the midpoint of all graduates’ loan debts upon graduation. Department of Education privacy regulations determine that there were too few graduates during the July 1, 2010—June 30, 2011 period to report median loan debt.

What percent of graduates completes the program in the normal time frame as published in the catalog?

A continuously enrolled full-time student who successfully completes all of his or her courses will normally complete this program in 15 quarters. The time normally required for program completion may be reduced through courses credited by transfer or proof of proficiency, or extended by course failures and withdrawals, institutional withdrawals, leaves of absence, developmental courses, change of enrollment status from full-time to part-time, and change of program or change of an elective option within a program.

Department of Education privacy regulations determine that there were too few graduates during the July 1, 2010—June 30, 2011 period to report.

What percent of graduates found employment related to their field of study?

Placement is reported in the campus’ Campus Accountability Report to the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools. The most recent Report covers the period from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011.

“Placement” refers to employment in the field for which the graduate’s education has prepared him or her, or in a related field which requires substantial application of the skills and knowledge taught in the curriculum.

The placement rate is determined by dividing the number of available graduates placed by the total number of available graduates. The Accrediting Council does not require institutions to report placement for graduates who are not available for placement due to continuing education, active military duty, visa restrictions, or pregnancy, death, and health-related circumstances. Further information pertaining to the employment of graduates may be obtained from the College’s Office of Career Services at dfuller@beckfield.edu

For those who graduated from the program between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011, the career placement rate was 100%.
