Undergraduate Career Outcomes

The University of Arizona participates in a nationwide initiative to gather data about undergraduate students’ post-graduation outcomes. Findings from the Graduating Senior Survey and supplemental sources inform U of A’s strategies in supporting and preparing students to attain their post-graduation goals. This dashboard includes students who received a bachelor’s degree between the fall term through the subsequent summer term.

Data are collected within six months after the end of the graduating class through three sources: a self-report survey (the Graduating Senior Survey), and two secondary sources, LiveAlumni and the National Student Clearinghouse. The knowledge rate for the Class of 2024 was 74%.
