Career Services Center | Philadelphia University | 215.951.2930 | [email protected] www.philau.edu/career INTRODUCTION The Career Services Center of Philadelphia University is pleased to present its Senior Survey for the Class of 2012. This survey includes students with graduation dates of August 2011, December 2011 and May 2012. Statistics are derived from a survey response pool of 365 from a total graduating class of 497 (representing a 73% response rate). Of the 365 responding graduates, 349 or 96% have reported post-graduation employment in fields related to their major or career interests or graduate school acceptance. Employment plans were reported by 290 or 79% of graduates (up from 69% in 2011). Graduate school plans were reported by 59 or 16% of graduates (down from 23% in 2011). The remaining 16 or 4% indicated they were still seeking employment at the time of this report. Factors that contribute to this success include the talents of our students, their high-quality academic preparation, faculty and alumni networks, recognition we attain from numerous regional and national employers, the provision of a comprehensive array of experiential education opportunities, career-development services and programs, and the effective job and graduate school searches conducted by our students. This success translates into a range of starting salaries from $28,000 to $57,000 with a reported average salary of $37,643. Where no or insufficient salary data were reported to calculate an average, NR (Not Reported) is indicated. The Career Services Center assists students with their career and professional development, offering opportunities to prepare for their internship & job search and connect with industry representatives.
