15 Jun Huntington University Grads Finding Jobs

A recent survey of the Huntington University Class of 2009 showed that 72 percent of the 159 graduates surveyed had acquired fulltime employment within eight months after graduation. Another 15 percent are attending graduate school (an increase from previous years), and another 8 percent have found part-time employment.

“Considering this economy, I think our graduating students did very, very well finding jobs,” said Martha Smith, associate dean of student development.

Contact was made with 146 graduates for the survey.

In just two years, the number of HU students attending graduate school has increased from 5 percent to 15 percent. The largest areas of graduate studies for the Class of 2009 were counseling, social work, and theology.
