Northwood University has been ranked among the top 15 business schools in the country by Think Advisor, thanks to its academic excellence and ability to prepare graduates for success in the business world. This recognition is particularly noteworthy as Northwood tied for 9th place on the list with graduates earning a median salary of $102,700 mid-career, according to PayScale.
Northwood’s vice president of undergraduate enrollment and financial aid, Susie Poli-Smith, stated that the university takes great pride in enabling its graduates to enter the workforce with a strong work ethic and a heightened sense of individual responsibility. It’s no surprise then that Northwood’s alumni have found success in various sectors, with over 30% reporting that they own all or some of their own businesses. Many undergraduates also go on to attend the DeVos Graduate School to further invest in their education and distinguish themselves from others in today’s competitive workforce.
PayScale considers a “business school” to be any college that grants more than half of its undergraduate degrees in business-related fields such as accounting, finance, and marketing. The median salaries shown are specific to graduates with business-related majors and do not represent the salaries of all graduates from the school who may have earned only bachelor’s degrees. Despite this, Northwood University’s ranking is an impressive achievement that speaks volumes about its commitment to academic excellence and preparing students for long-term success in their chosen careers.
