For Northwest alumni, high SAT scores do not correlate to high-paying positions in the workforce. Graduates of Northwest earn approximately $35K on average.
Male graduates on average earn more than female graduates; the first group banks $72K per year, but the second group takes home only about $37K.
A Master of Science (MS) leads to the highest pay for Northwest grads ($74K on average per year). A Master of Business Administration (MBA) offers the lowest median annual financial reward ($34K).
Microsoft Office is a popular skill among Northwest alumni, with more than a third of grads reporting using it on the job. For former Bearcats, proficiency in Microsoft Excel warrants a paycheck that is nearly double other alumni salaries.
Though a majority of grads get paid time off for vacation, only one in three grads receive paid sick leave. Most respondents allocate some part of their earnings to a company-sponsored 401(k) savings plan. Dental insurance applies to a strong majority of survey participants, and a large number of survey participants report health coverage. Other benefits awarded to Northwest Missouri State University alumni include a casual working environment, free drinks, and life insurance.
Northwest grads face average salaries on the lower end compared to alumni salaries of comparable schools; in fact, median pay is the lowest among former Northwest students, though earnings are not far from the average salary of University of Nebraska at Kearney graduates (around $51K). The University of Central Missouri, Western Illinois University, and Emporia State University are also similar to Northwest.
