Outcomes by degree
| Metric | Bachelor's | Master's |
|---|---|---|
| Full-time employment | 45.9% | 77.4% |
| Graduate or professional school | 41.2% | 10.7% |
| Accepted a position, among respondents with employment plans | 84.7% | 80.7% |
How to read the figures
Many Bachelor's graduates continue to further study, which is why their full-time employment share is lower. Master's graduates most often work in professional, scientific and technical services, which includes consulting.
My Advice
Compare these numbers by degree rather than as a single placement rate. If you are choosing between a Bachelor's and a Master's route, use the share going into jobs versus further study to match your own plans.
