- A job placement rate of 10% (Chattanooga) was also provided to the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC). This rate was calculated including students who graduated from the program of study between 7/1/2010-6/30/2011. The placement rate was calculated by using the total number of employed graduates divided by the total number of graduates defined as “placeable” by THEC. The total number of “placeable” graduates does not include graduates who qualified for a placement exemption due to special circumstances, such as health issues, death, continuing education or military service. Tennessee programs listed with a rate of "N/A" (Not Applicable), indicate that there were less than 10 students enrolled in the program or there were graduates available. The placement rate reported only includes students classified as placed by September 15, 2011. This rate does not include graduates who began employment after September 15, 2011. This rate is to the best of our knowledge based on data received. The College makes no promise or guarantee of employment.

Rates indicating "No Completers" indicates that there is no rate to report during this time period.
