Career Services The Career Services office at Northwest helps their students choose a major, supports them to find an internship, search for jobs and provides career guidance and critiques for job interviews, resumes, cover letters, and networking. Jobs after Graduation Northwest strives to prepare students for successful careers and we believe it is important to continuously evaluate the post-graduation status of our graduates.

Career Services surveys the previous academic year graduates and organizes the data to provide a view of “first destination” employment and continuing education statistics. The data reported is six months after graduation (industry standard).

Of undergraduates 97% secure employment or continue education within six months of graduation

The Electronic Campus and Computing Museum Northwest Missouri State University has been directly and indirectly involved in computing technology since 1945 when Northwest alumnus Jean Jennings Bartik became one of the first computer programmers.

Jean was one of only six women involved in programming the ENIAC, the world's first Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer. She also went on to program the UNIVAC I, the world's first commercial computer.
