First Destination Survey
Every year recent graduates are encouraged to take a First Destination Survey which determines the employment status of our graduates. The results from this survey is compiled into a total career outcome rate. Historically, these rates have exceeded 90 percent or better. Recently, that rate has averaged 95 percent or higher.
Did you graduate in August 2019, December 2019 or April 2020?
Please take a few minutes to complete the most recent First Destination Survey.
