Each year, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) Career Services surveys new graduates at graduation and six months later to ask about their post-graduation plans (e.g., job, graduate school, military service, entrepreneurial venture). This graduation outcomes data is compiled into various reports to help prospective students, current students, and campus faculty and staff visualize common career pathways of LAS majors. There are two databases included on this webpage, the first detailing employment avenues and the second detailing continuing education outcomes. Both databases include post-graduation report outcome data from 2021-2024.
