ABOUT THIS REPORT

Beginning in April of 2012, the Career Center invited students from the Class of 2012 to report acceptances into graduate-level programs. This information was used to compose profiles on students by School and academic department. Included in these profiles are the names of schools and programs to which they have been accepted, and the school they have selected to attend. This report is a work in progress, as students continue to learn about and notify us of graduate school acceptances. A total of 80 students confirmed their information for this report.
