lifetime career assistance in the form of job placement help and
externship opportunities.
Northwestern College is regionally accredited by the Higher
Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges

recognized educational associations.
Northwestern College offers three associate's degree (AAS)
programs online:

AAS in Health Information Technology
The health care field has a need for experts in Health
Information Technology to accurately document patients' medical
histories--such as illnesses, observations, surgeries, and
treatment outcomes--to ensure proper treatment and care. Health
Information Technologists may keep patient records for hospitals,
outpatient centers, nursing homes, public health departments, or
insurance companies. Northwestern College's online associate's
degree in Health Information Technology prepares students to
enter this growing field with courses on medical coding,
terminology, and insurance and billing practices. Northwestern
College's AAS in HIT is accredited by the Commission on
Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management
Education (CAHIIM) and Information Management Education of the
American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA).
