The post-graduation report offers answers to questions such as how many graduates are employed, is employment related to the graduate’s career goals, how do graduates from Virginia Tech find their jobs and how many graduates pursue additional education. Of those respondents who report continuing education, 61percent report that they are pursuing a master’s degree.
Additional information about post-graduation success can also be found by college and/or major within the report.
