First Destination Data on Recent Graduates

The Career Services office has compiled a summary of career outcomes information. These summaries are based on surveys conducted across regular intervals throughout the year, and we use this information to identify ways to improve our job search services for graduating students and alumni.

The data collected from The Outcomes Survey is invaluable to the institution and prepares us to meet new reporting standards. Post-graduation outcomes are critical than ever before and they benefit students, prospective students, and their families, as they make critical decisions about their educational investments.
