Purdue Global graduates outperform the competition when it comes to career outcomes.

This rate includes graduates employed in jobs unrelated to their degree and who were employed while attending Purdue Global. this is not the same as an employment rate as defined by the U.S. Department of Education.

This rate may also include graduates employed in jobs unrelated to their degree or who were employed while attending Purdue Global. “Knowledge Rate” depicts the percent of graduates for whom a career outcomes destination is known.
