In addition, several of our students have been placed at strong institutions within the Baltimore-Washington, D.C., region, such as American University, The Catholic University of America, Howard University, Loyola College and George Washington University. Other students have accepted research-related positions in private and governmental organizations (such as the World Bank, General Electric Corporation, U.S. Coast Guard, and the American Red Cross).
Over the past five years, approximately 80% of our graduates accepted positions as tenure track assistant professors at an accredited university directly upon graduation, and 19% accepted research related positions in either private or governmental organizations. In other words, approximately 99% of our Ph.D. students have been successfully placed directly upon graduation.
