Post-Graduation Outcomes 2020-2021

The University of Cincinnati's Division of Experience-Based Learning and Career Education, in conjunction with the Office of Institutional Research, presents data on post-graduation outcomes by degree type and by college, to assist prospective students in planning for their future.

We present the percentages of graduates who are employed, not employed, not seeking employment, or continuing their education at the time of data collection, along with the three-year average salary.

In accordance with guidelines set by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), data is collected six months to one year after completion using national and state databases and surveys.

Notes

  • Figures for 2020-2021 cover individuals who completed a degree or certificate in the Summer 2020, Fall 2020 or Spring 2021 semesters.
  • We do not determine whether a graduate’s reported job title is related to his or her academic degree. To remove bias, and in accordance with NACE guidelines, if a graduate reports that they are working full-time and/or has an annual salary above the equivalent of full-time work at minimum wage, their salary is included.
  • Figures reflect base salary and do not include bonuses, commissions, fringe benefits or overtime pay.
  • Some rows do not equal 100% due to rounding.
