How much a student actually pays usually depends, at least in part, on their family's household income. At Northwest Technical Institute this year, we project students with incomes over $110K will pay around $16,271, while students with incomes below $30K will pay around $11,993. That's a difference of $4,278.
| Income bracket | Projected net price at Northwest Technical Institute |
|---|---|
| <$30K | $11,993 |
| $30K-$48K | $13,837 |
| $48K-$75K | $13,934 |
| $75K-$110K | $15,388 |
| >$110K | $16,271 |
Student retention, or how often students return to continue their degree after completing their first year, is another helpful indicator. Over the last five years, at Northwest Technical Institute, about 72% of full-time students returned the following fall to continue their degree.
The size and demographic makeup of a school’s student body can have a large impact on a student’s experience. Northwest Technical Institute has 248 students, which puts it in the {SIZE_PERCENTILE} percentile of public, 2-year schools.
About 67% of students are male.
And about 49% of students are white.
