Explore post-graduation outcomes shared by our graduating seniors! (Percentages for each item are based on the total number of responses for that item). You can discover what students in your major pursued after graduation—whether that included internships, full-time positions, graduate school, or other meaningful experiences.

*First-Destination data for the class of 2024-2025 includes sourced outcomes that preclude direct comparison to previous graduating classes. Sourced Outcomes supplement the outcome records obtained by the First Destination Survey. Data is collected from verified profiles on LinkedIn (via CoreSignal) and Handshake to help institutions capture a more complete picture of graduates’ post-college paths. Career and Professional Development reviews each record against the source before saving it as a response.
