Career Outcomes from Life Beyond the Square
Welcome to the Wasserman Center’s interactive career outcomes dashboard! We conduct our annual Life Beyond the Square survey to understand students’ first destinations after earning their NYU degree(s). The data we collect informs our services, programs, and employer engagement strategies to help current and future Violets develop and attain their career goals. The dashboard below is a snapshot of where graduates have landed up to six months after their graduation. This guide contains helpful information for understanding the data and navigating the dashboard.

The survey includes still looking as an option, whether you’re seeking employment or continuing education. We know a lot of graduates will still be figuring it all out in the weeks and months after graduation, and we encourage you to stop by the Wasserman Center, or browse Handshake, for help navigating your next steps. Alumni have full access to the Wasserman Center’s many resources, including career coaching, events, digital resources, etc. Don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything we can do to help!
Responses to the survey will never be shared outside of NYU, and survey findings are only reported in aggregate. Findings are used to inform our employer engagement strategies and the programs, services, and resources offered by the Wasserman Center to students and alumni each year.
