WashU Career Outcomes

The Center for Career Engagement conducts an annual survey of graduating students to learn about their next step after graduation. Also known as First Destination, students self-report their employment (including jobs, fellowships, post-graduation internships and co-ops, research, and self-employment), continuing education (including graduate/professional school, medical school, law school, dental school, and certificate programs), military service, volunteer service, or seeking status to the Center for Career Engagement, or share their updates via academic partners, advisors, and social media.

First Destination

First Destination career outcomes include the first job, internship, fellowship, graduate or professional school, or other career experience students obtain after graduation from WashU. WashU adheres to the standards set by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) and the Career Services & Employer Alliance (CSEA) for the collection and reporting of First Destination career outcomes data.

Knowledge rate: This is the percentage of the undergraduate graduating class for whom a career outcomes first destination is known. It includes the sum of all the employment categories, plus service and military, plus continuing education, plus the number of students still seeking an outcome or not seeking an outcome. It excludes those students for whom no information is available. WashU career outcomes knowledge rates for past graduating classes are:

  • Undergraduate class of 2023: 87%
  • Undergraduate class of 2022: 91%
  • Undergraduate class of 2021: 97%
  • Undergraduate class of 2020: 82%
  • Undergraduate class of 2019: 95%
  • Undergraduate class of 2018: 92%
