2 Syracuse University Career Services Commitment to Student Success Syracuse University is committed to empowering every student to reach their full potential. From the moment students arrive on campus, to the day they receive their degree—and every moment between and beyond—we’re here to guide them, support their career goals and celebrate in their accomplishments. Every year, Syracuse University Career Services, in partnership with career professionals in the schools and colleges, compiles this outcomes report to share our graduates’ accomplishments and first destinations.
Data Collection Methods The Class of 2019 consists of graduates from undergraduate programs who were awarded degrees in July, Aug. and Dec. 2018 and May and June 2019. Data for this report is compiled from information collected by Syracuse University Career Services and various academic units across campus. The information consists of survey responses from graduates, but also includes knowledge gained through LinkedIn and faculty/staff reporting. The information in this report is collected and compiled following the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) standards and protocols for the collection and dissemination of graduating student initial career outcomes. Students who graduated from multiple schools or colleges are reported in each school’s results.
