Ninety percent of UConn’s class of 2019 graduates reported being employed or in a graduate studies program within six months of graduation, according to figures from UConn’s Center for Career Development.
About 60 percent of UConn graduates who completed a bachelor’s degree program in 2019 were employed, and nearly 30 percent were enrolled in a graduate program six months after graduation, according to UConn. The numbers reflect a 6 percent increase over last year.
The data comes from surveys of UConn Class of 2019 members, with the methodology based on national standards set by the National Association of Colleges and Employers.
“We place a strong emphasis on providing students with the necessary tools… in areas such as critical thinking, teamwork [and] leadership,” said James Lowe, executive director of UConn’s Center for Career Development. “This, combined with our robust corporate partner relations focus, provides opportunities for students to actively engage with employers to explore meaningful career opportunities.”
