Re: Placement Rate Methodology – our Accreditation requires that we track employment within 6 months of program completion. A student may in fact complete Graduate Certificate requirements in August, but not be eligible to take the exam until March, if they took the fully allotted amount of time required by our Accreditation guidelines. This is also assuming they seek employment – some delay due to pregnancy, for example."
