Graduate Outcomes

ArtCenter is committed to tracking the outcomes of our graduating students. An annual survey is administered to the graduating classes of the previous academic year (Fall, Spring, Summer) to collect data and feedback on employment status, current place of employment, and other career-related activities one-year post-graduation. The Office of Institutional Research also partners with Alumni Relations and Creative Careers on a Knowledge Rate process (a combination of employment survey results with publicly available internet-based research), helping to expand the information available on the College's graduates.

Alumni who are one-year-out from graduation will be sent a link to their personal email on file with the college. The survey is typically conducted between mid-August and early October. Reminders are sent through the last day of the survey to non-respondents. To request a link to the survey or a copy of the Graduate Employment Survey instrument, please contact the Center for Educational Effectiveness at (cee@artcenter.edu). Survey participants should read our Informed Consent and Incentive Rules before completing the survey.

Outcomes and data reported for the most recent Knowledge Rate can be found by visiting the College’s At a Glance and Graduate Employment web pages.

For a full list of career and continuing education programs and services available to alumni, please visit the Alumni and Creative Careers pages on our website. Both offices are service-oriented and here to support you as a current student, eventually as an alumnus of ArtCenter, and throughout your career.

If you have any questions related to the Graduate Employment Survey or the College’s Knowledge Rate, please contact the Center for Educational Effectiveness at cee@artcenter.edu.
