Undergraduate Student Outcomes

Know Where You’re Going, Well Before Graduation

After four years with us, you’ll have learned a lot. How to work in diverse teams. How to apply technical know-how. How to succeed after failure. But perhaps most importantly, you’ll have discovered a lot about your purpose. Understanding their purpose means that most of our graduates know where they’re heading after graduation, well before putting on the mortarboard and shaking hands with the dean.
