Amongst AG Online Colleges, Northwest Ranks #1
(But, our AG peers do very well.)

Institution Name Religious Affiliation % Students Exclusively in Online Courses Graduation Rate (For all Student Types)
Northwest University Assemblies of God 10% 53
Epic Bible College Assemblies of God 10% 50
Southeastern University Assemblies of God 30% 42
Southwestern Assemblies of God University Assemblies of God 34% 41

Source: The National Center for Education Statistics, 2015

This data reflects the latest information available; it was collected from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and represents the school year that ended in 2015. The data set is based on schools with more than 10% of students enrolled exclusively in distance education courses, and compares graduation rates for “undenominational” schools with schools who listed their religious affiliation as “Assemblies of God Church”.

Please note: Currently, NCES does not distinguish between online or on-campus programs in its data reporting. However, starting in the 2016-2017 school year, NCES will report on Northwest University’s online programs separately from the on-campus programs.
