JOB PLACEMENT

At this time Lake Washington Institute of TEchnology is not disclosing this information. There is no requirement by the State or an accreditor to calculate a placement rate for either the institution as a whole or for the specific GE Program, therefore LWIT does not need to disclose a placement rate. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) is currently developing a methodology that will be used to calculate placement rates for GE Programs. When the NCES methodology becomes available, LWIT will use it to calculate a GE Program's placement rate.
