Our MPS '17 Grads Are Now Data Scientists, Analysts and Statisticians, Earning an average $80K per year

MPS 2017 Grad Survey
Tuesday, December 19, 2017

The Statistics MPS 2017 post-graduate report is out! Through this survey, we learn about how well our MPS graduates did in finding jobs after graduating. For prospective students, it's a quick look at how a master's degree in statistics from Cornell can help land positions in industry. 

Here are some highlights:

• Job positions include data scientist, data analyst, statistician, engineer at companies like Cisco Systems, Facebook, JP Morgan Chase, PNC, and Procter & Gamble 
• the average full-time salary of our '17 graduates is just shy of $80,000 
• 52 percent landed their jobs through an online job posting (without on-campus interviews); 30 percent obtained employment through a referral, personal contact and/or networking.
