Student Outcomes

The information below is based on data collected from Huskies starting just prior to graduation up until 7 months following graduation.  Also known as Next Destination, the data provide a snapshot of UW-Seattle undergraduates’ success following degree completion.  This information is collected by the Career & Internship Center, the Office of Educational Assessment and various academic units in accordance with national standards.

Knowledge rates: Class of 2018 – 25%, Class of 2019 – 51%, Class of 2020 – 47%, Class of 2021 – 41%, Class of 2022 – 58%.  The knowledge rate in 2022 jumped because we scraped LinkedIn.  Knowledge rates vary widely among colleges and departments.
