INTRODUCTION

The Career Services Center of Philadelphia University is pleased to present its Senior Survey for the Class of 2011.

This survey includes students with graduation dates of August 2010, December 2010 and May 2011. Statistics are derived from a survey

response pool of 355 from a total graduating class of 548 (representing a 65% response rate). Of the 355 responding graduates, 328 or 92%

have reported post-graduation employment or graduate school acceptance. Employment plans were reported by 245 or 69% of graduates (up

from 57% in 2010). Graduate school plans were reported by 83 or 23% of graduates (up from 22% in 2010). The remaining 27 or 8%

indicated they were still seeking employment at the time of this report.

Factors that contribute to this success include the talents of our students, their high-quality academic preparation, faculty and alumni

networks, recognition we attain from numerous regional and national employers, the provision of a comprehensive array of experiential

education opportunities, career-development services and programs, and the effective job and graduate school searches conducted by our

students (in response to the change in job search techniques needed for success in the difficult economic climate of 2010-11, the Career

Services Center offered additional job search strategies workshops.) This success translates into a range of starting salaries from $28,000 to

$60,000 with a reported average salary of $38,955.

The Career Services Center assists students with their career and professional development, offering opportunities to prepare for their

internship & job search and connect with industry representatives. Programs, services and workshops available to students in the past
