What Can I Do With a Major In...?

Class of 2007 (Summer 2006, Fall 2006, Spring 2007)

Every year the Career Center conducts an annual survey of the initial postgraduate activities of Bachelor’s degree students. Our primary focus for this report is to provide students interested in this major with examples of the wide variety of employment and graduate school choices past students have made. Data for 2007 includes survey responses from Summer 2006, Fall 2006, and Spring 2007. For more information on how the survey data was obtained, go to Survey Data Collection.

Please note: Beginning with the 2006 survey year, students with double and triple majors are represented in each of their majors, whereas in past years their data were only presented in their primary major.
