Graduate Employment Status After 6 Months
A World of Possibility
FOR ELLIOTT GRADUATES
At Elliott, we focus on each student’s journey to professional success. From career coaching to visits to top employers, our office 2014-15 2016-17 2018-19
of Graduate Student Services works hand-in-hand with students to help them target their studies and hone in on their passions.
Our success is notable: more than 90 percent of Elliott graduate students find rewarding work within six months of graduation.
Overall, recent graduates accept positions in public service, with non-profit organizations and NGOS, and in the private sector,
in roughly equal percentages.
2013-14 2015-16 2017-18
Among our top employers, we count many federal agencies, including the U.S. Departments of State, Defense, Commerce,
and Justice. Leading organizations such as the Atlantic Council, the U.S. Institute of Peace, and the Africa Center for Strategic
Studies also seek out Elliott graduates. In the private sector, we connect our students with large financial and consulting firms,
as well as with smaller, more targeted agencies.
The charts below reveal the success and diversity of employment among the 2019 Elliott School graduates.
