Purdue University’s Center for Career Opportunities assist us in identifying employment information for graduates.

In 2020, 99% of our undergraduate students were employed or in graduate school within six months of graduation. Candidates in our Advanced Programs are primarily educators and administrators already working in educational settings who are returning for additional training and licensure. Our 2020-2021 alumni focus groups measured their success in using new skills in their positions and in positioning themselves for promotion or new positions as a result of their new skills. These reports are still in pilot phase and additional details will be provided in 2022.
