About This School
Northwestern Technological Institute is a private for-profit institution located in Southfield, Michigan with approximately 689 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $30,525 per year. Typical graduates earn $37,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
The Northwestern Technological Institute is a landmark building at Northwestern University. Built from 1940 to 1942, it is the main building for students and faculty in the Northwestern University School of Engineering. The School of Engineering itself was called the Northwestern Technological Institute before a major gift from the Robert R. McCormick Foundation gave it the present name in 1989.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: while median debt at graduation is a relatively low $8,540, graduates earn a median of just $37,200 ten years out — and at a net price of $30,525 per year, that's a steep investment for a modest long-term payoff. It's also worth noting that the Wikipedia entry for "Northwestern Technological Institute" actually describes a building at Northwestern University in Evanston, not this Southfield, MI school, which raises questions about name recognition and any potential confusion in the marketplace. Worth researching very carefully before committing, particularly by asking the school directly for graduation rates and job placement data in your specific program.
