Cost Overview

Families actually pay around $25,000 annually at Northwestern College, regardless of income level. Net costs range from $24,589 for families earning under $30,000 to $27,226 for those making $48,000-$75,000. Over four years, expect to spend roughly $100,000. The college focuses heavily on healthcare programs, particularly nursing and medical assisting.

Graduates carry a median debt of $19,000, translating to monthly payments of $201. With median earnings of $37,871 ten years after graduation, loan payments consume about 6% of income. The 22% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle financially after leaving. Nearly 75% of students receive federal loans, while only 4% get institutional grants averaging $2,684.

Students from all income brackets pay similar amounts here. The small percentage receiving institutional aid means the college offers little merit-based relief beyond federal programs.
