ACCSC Graduation and Employment Rates
Graduation and employment rates are reported annually in October to our accrediting body, ACCSC. Rates are based on: (1) students who started their program between the reporting dates determined by ACCSC; (2) graduate students who were employed for a reasonable period of time and considered sustainable (e.g., not a single day of employment).

Accreditor Placement Rate Methodology:
Placement Rate Percentage is determined by taking the number of student graduates employed in the field divided by the number of graduates available for employment.
Graduates Employed in the Field/Graduates Available for Employment = Employment Rate
(“Graduates Employed in the Field” divided by “Graduates Available for Employment” = “Employment Rate”)
Exclusions: Students graduates meeting any of the following conditions are excluded from the “graduates available for employment” calculation: (1) graduates that continue on with education in an accredited institution of higher education on at least a half-time basis; (2) graduates unavailable for employment due to the onset of a medical condition (3) graduates employed in jobs not related to the training obtained from the school’s program; (4) unemployed graduates; (5) graduates for which no information about employment or unemployment is available.
Placement Rate Percentage is determined by taking the number of student graduates employed in a related field and/or non-related field, are not employed but are attending school for related or non-related education, or are in the military divided by the number of graduates of the program.
Graduates Employed/Program Graduates = Employment Rate
(“Graduates Employed” divided by “Program Graduates” = “Employment Rate”)
Exclusions: Students graduates meeting any of the following conditions are excluded from the “graduates employed” calculation: (1) graduates not employed but seeking employment; (2) graduates not employed and not seeking employment; (3) graduates for which no information about employment or unemployment is available.
