Post Graduate Surveys

In our annual post-graduate surveys, offered each year since 2009, graduating students self-report details on their employment status in the months before and after graduation. We are currently redesigning our post-graduate survey reports to make them web-accessible. PDF copies of our annual post-graduate surveys are available by request. Please contact Anita Scheible, MPS career services advisor, at ads342@cornell.edu, and please note in your email that you're requesting the Stats MPS surveys.

Post Graduate Surveys

Post Graduate Surveys (PGS) are completed each year and provide us with information on where our graduates end up next. What companies do they end up working for? What industry (given the range of industries hiring statistics majors these days)? What salary range is their first job after graduation? What region of the country or world are our graduates moving to after leaving Cornell?

All of this helps us see the answer to the question, "What can you do with a Statistics degree?" Take a look at some past years' Post Graduate Surveys to see for yourself.
