Note 1. We have reports of more than one postbaccalaureate activity for some graduates. In such cases, either the
graduate indicates a primary activity or we designate a primary activity, giving primacy to activities earliest on this list:
Employed (Full-Time), Military Service, Service Organization, Fellowship (Full-Time), Education (Full-Time), Own Venture
(Full-Time), Employed (Part-Time), Fellowship (Part-Time), Education (Part-Time), Own Venture (Part-Time), Artistic
Pursuits or Auditions, Still Seeking Employment, Still Seeking Education, Not Seeking.
Note 2. Fordham graduates who report that they are preparing for an exam are included in the "Seeking Continuing
Education" category. Full-time and part-time study are both included here.
In January 2014, the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) released the first ever set of standards and
protocols for collecting post-baccalaureate placement data. Fordham adopted the standards with the Class of 2014 in order to
facilitate comparisons of outcomes for current and prospective students. As Fordham's earlier placement analyses did not use
the same methodology, caution should be used when comparing the outcomes of classes prior to 2014 with those since then.
Source. CareerInsights Data Analysis Platform
Fordham's commitment to cura personalis does not stop when students graduate. Until they have landed in their first destination, the Office of Career Services reaches out to every newly
graduated student to offer assistance as they pursue careers and other activities. Career Counselors and others reached out to every member of the Class of 2015. Through personal contact
and other sources (e.g., social media, employer reports, LSAC reports), they learned the "first destination" for 98% of the graduates.

Starting Salary and Bonuses of graduates who chose full-time standard
employment, Graduating Class of 2015.
Note 1. All reported salaries are included in these statistics. Employment is considered full-time
unless otherwise specified. When hourly wages were reported, annual income equals wage x 40
hours/week x 52 weeks/year.
Note 2. Academic year salaries for teachers are included as annual salaries in this report.
Note 3. Salaries of graduates ranged from $10,000 to $550,000. The maximum signing bonus was
$15,000, and the maximum expected bonus was $65,000.
Note 4. Business and liberal arts students tend to choose different career paths immediately following
college. As a result, mean salaries differ by school. However, the industry in which a graduate works
and the graduate’s job functions, rather than the graduate’s major, strongly influences starting salary.

Many Pursuits. Rich Lives. Many students engage in several of the survey's target activities. Fordham takes pride in
all of these pursuits. Our information collection process, which includes searches of the data repositories such as the
National Student Clearinghouse and Linkedin, does not always capture students' activities. However, about 6% of the
graduating class reported their multiple activities. The table below lists the most common combinations of activities reported.
The number of graduates noted are very likely underestimates. We list the numbers to give a general sense of the relative
prevalence of these combinations.

How did graduates find their jobs? We know what resources graduates use, but less
about which can be tied to the jobs graduates ultimately take; most graduates do not report their
sources. We include the table below in the hope that the lack of information will inspire future
graduates to report this information. Wouldn't it be great to fill in this table?
