First Destination Survey

Starting the next chapter of your life as a new Syracuse University alumnus is always exciting. New doors open and the possibilities are endless. We’d love to hear from you once you have secured a job to start your career, or enrolled in a graduate school program. Please take a few minutes to fill out your graduation survey. You’ll see trending jobs for your major, where your classmates are working and top employers that hired from your school or college. In turn, your response provides crucial data to your classmates on job, salary and industry trends.
