The length of the program will vary based on individual circumstances such as choosing to attend less than full time, failing or retaking a course or courses, changing programs, or choosing to take a greater than full-time course load.

The completion rate is calculated based on the cumulative results of students at all locations that offer this program, who completed between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012. The completion rate is calculated using the formula provided by the U.S. Department of Education. It may not include all graduates who actually graduated from the program within the maximum allowable timeframe. To protect the privacy of our students, programs with less than ten completers within an award year will be listed as "N/A."

The job placement rate listed above is based on the cumulative results of graduates from all Virginia College campuses that offer this program.

·         A job placement rate of 100% (Chattanooga) was also provided to the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC).  This rate was calculated including students who graduated from the program of study between 7/1/2010-6/30/2011.  The placement rate was calculated by using the total number of employed graduates divided by the total number of graduates defined as “placeable” by THEC.   The total number of “placeable” graduates does not include graduates who qualified for a placement exemption due to special circumstances, such as health issues, death, continuing education or military service. Tennessee programs listed with a rate of "N/A" (Not Applicable), indicate that there were less than 10 students enrolled in the program or there were graduates available. The placement rate reported only includes students classified as placed by September 15, 2011. This rate does not include graduates who began employment after September 15, 2011. This rate is to the best of our knowledge based on data received.  The College makes no promise or guarantee of employment.

Rates indicating "No Completers" indicates that there is no rate to report during this time period.  This rate only includes students classified as employed prior to the submission of the report and does not include graduates who began employment after the reporting period ended.  This rate is to the best of our knowledge based on data received.  The College makes no promise or guarantee of employment.

The median loan debt for Federal loans is calculated based on students who graduated between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, using the formula provided by the U.S Department of Education. An individual's loan debt will vary based on individual factors such as a student's decision to pay for the program from sources other than student loans or to borrow more than is needed to pay the direct costs of education, transfer credits, course failures, and program changes. Private educational loan data are based only on information reported to the College. To protect the privacy of our students, programs with less than 10 completers with an award year will be listed as "N/A".
