You’ll hear that these are "uncertain times," that current events are “unprecedented.” But all times are uncertain, everything meaningful is unprecedented and success is always a moving target. That’s why Dickinson has a robust support system in place for students and graduates to ensure that we can maintain numbers like this:
95% of Dickinsonians are employed, completing an internship, in grad school or engaged in meaningful service within one year of graduation.
Dickinson is a very different kind of liberal-arts college. Results like that don’t happen by accident, and Dickinson has a career-focused superstructure in place to make sure it does, year after year. Together they keep Dickinson poised on the edge of what the world needs.
REAL-LIFE EXPERIENCE
92% of students completed an internship or externship or a research, service learning or field experience course.
