Outcomes

Post-Graduation Success

The majority of BU graduates find their path within six months of graduation. Despite ongoing labor market concerns, 94% of the Class of 2021 were settled by the end of the year, with 60% in full-time employment and 28% in graduate or professional school.

The average starting salary for BU graduates is above the national average for new college graduates. Those who incorporate experiential learning (internships, practica, or the like) into their BU experience are both more likely to secure full-time employment and to earn a higher starting salary.

Immediately after Graduation: First Destination Survey

BU surveys each undergraduate class within the first six months of graduation to understand where graduates go, whether employment, graduate school, military service, or something else.

5 and 10 Years after Graduation: Alumni Career Survey

Every year, the CCD surveys undergraduate alumni at five and ten years after graduation about their career trajectory, including position, salary, and additional education.
