黑料网 Wesleyan prides itself on the Power of AND, an educational philosophy that encourages the growth of the whole person. The goal of college education, however, is post-collegiate success, and the university excels in that realm as well. KWU announced Tuesday that its most recent graduate survey 鈥� for Fall 2020, Spring 2021 and Summer 2021 graduates 鈥� shows 100% of bachelor鈥檚 degree recipients employed or continuing their education.
These results increase KWU鈥檚 three-year placement rate to 98.2% for undergraduates.
鈥淚t is wonderful news to hear the Coyote pack succeeding after graduation,鈥� said Patsy Stockham, career services coordinator. 鈥淎ll facets of the Power of AND 鈥� whether it鈥檚 activities, academics, athletics or others 鈥� are designed to build our graduates up, to make them more marketable and to help ensure future success.鈥�
Other data from this year鈥檚 survey showed 84% of the employed graduates are working in their field, with 92% of the overall employed respondents working full-time. 100% of employed graduates from 10 different majors were in their field, with numerous other disciplines above 80% in that statistic.
The most drastic figure, however, was the starting salary for graduates. It jumped more than $9,000 on average and now exceeds $52,500, buoyed by a dramatic increase in salaries for Nursing and Computer Studies majors.
鈥淭he COVID-19 pandemic and the 鈥楪reat Resignation鈥� have changed the job market,鈥� said Stockham. 鈥淥ur graduates, however, have been prepared. They were ready to tackle their careers, and now they are reaping the benefits of the Power of AND.鈥�
