Post-Graduation Report

Knowing how our students are faring after graduation is important to us. That’s why, each year, the Office of Career Development conducts an annual follow-up study on the graduating class from the prior year. The Post-Graduation Report details where Mount Union graduates have landed within the first year following Commencement, providing a snapshot of initial alumni success.
