Post-Graduation Outcomes
The CPDC surveys all students graduating from Carnegie Mellon University (excluding Heinz College and Tepper graduate students) in order to obtain information on their career plans after graduation, also known as First Destination Career Outcomes. Common points of data include hiring companies, graduate and professional schools, starting salaries, and geographic locations. Explore the dashboard below to learn about the first career destinations of our recent alumni!
Note: Some recent graduates chose not to provide employer, job title, salary, and/or graduate school information in their response. To protect the identity of individuals, certain results are hidden when the response count is too low. It is recommended to utilize the "Department" filter first.
