First destination after undergraduate degree

We survey graduating seniors to ask their first destination. They can report and update up to six months after commencement. Report includes:

  • Employed grads: salary medians; list of job titles, employers, and locations.
  • Continuing education grads: list of degrees, programs, and institutions.
  • Career-related experience during college; including types of experience (sample graphic below), and regrets about career planning.
