Undergraduate Career Outcomes

The Central Career Services office collects post-graduation outcomes information about most Cornell University graduates within six months of graduation, per reporting standards. This page shows post-graduate outcomes data for six divisions/schools who use a common first destinations survey for professional and master’s student programs. Classes include graduates from the period commencing in fall term through the subsequent summer term (i.e., Class of 2024 includes Fall 2023 and Spring/Summer 2024 graduates). 

These interactive tools will allow you to explore outcomes by graduation year, school, major, degree and employer sector.

  • The default setting is ‘all years’, ‘all schools’, ‘all majors’, ‘all degrees’, and ‘all employer sector’
  • There is no ‘enter’ button, results will automatically update as you choose different filters
