For undergraduates, the career outcomes rate is 87% six months after graduation, consistent with previous cohorts. Additionally, 93% of full-time employed respondents reported that their job is related to their career goals.
For graduate, Graduate School of Management and health sciences professional students, the career outcomes rate is 93%, also similar to prior years. 95% of full-time employed respondents indicated their work aligns with their career goals.
The First Destination Survey examines post-graduation employment and continuing education outcomes of students who earned degrees between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025. The undergraduate survey had a 95% knowledge rate, and the graduate survey had a 75% knowledge rate.
These outcomes follow National Association of Colleges and Employers’ standards and definitions, which guide how institutions measure knowledge rates and career outcomes rates. Learn more about NACE methodology here.
