Prospective Students: Three questions you should ALWAYS ask your college recruiter BEFORE enrolling in any college or post-secondary program:

  1.  What percent of students who enroll in a particular major actually end up graduating within 2 years (for Associate's Degree) or 4 years (for Bachelor's Degree)?

  2.  Of those students who graduate from the program, what percent are working full-time directly in the field they studied?

  3.  Of those graduates who are working directly in their field of study, what is the median starting salary for those graduates; and what is the median base salary five years after graduation?

The median five-year placement rate of graduates of Thaddeus Stevens College is over 90%. Placement rate is defined as the percent of graduates who are either working full-time or continuing their education on a on a full-time basis. "In-field" placement rate is defined as the percent of graduates working full-time directly in their field of study or continuing their education on a full-time basis. Many programs have a 100% placement rate. Students seeking full-time employment upon graduation or internships during college should contact the Director of Career Services.
