Our Grads Get Jobs
Providing students with a career-focused and relevant education is Champlain College's primary mission. A look at the numbers shows that for our graduates, this approach pays off.
More than 90% of 2011 Champlain College Bachelor degree graduates who responded to the annual "Employment Survey" reported they found employment (full-time, part-time or contract) within 12 months of graduation. Employment data for 86% of the graduating class was collected. Among those who found employment, 90% claim to have found a job related to their career goals.
Graduate and Go
Our students graduate with their eyes on jobs, but not just any. At Champlain, we equip students to envision their careers, and then we show them the road. It's not just about getting employment. Our students learn how to find the jobs that will help them advance their careers.
2011 Champlain Graduates compared to the national benchmark, gathered from the Rutgers University John J. Held rich Center for Workforce Development's 2012 report "Chasing the American Dream: Recent College Graduates and the Great Recession."
