Placement Rate

The tables below display the placement rates of our graduates for the five most recent academic years by program, using the following categories:

  • Vocational placement: The graduate is in a position for which the degree program prepared the graduate. Some graduates may have placements related to their degree programs prior to graduating; these may be reported as degree- related placements. Such placements may be compensated or volunteer positions.
  • Non-vocational placement: The graduate received a graduate theological degree designed for personal enrichment rather than vocational preparation. Graduates in positions, compensated or volunteer, which reflect their vocational choice may be placed in this category.
  • Further study: The graduate is pursuing additional education. This education may be at the graduate or undergraduate level.
  • Seeking placement: The graduate is actively seeking appropriate placement.
  • Other: The graduate has a position or placement that does not fall within the above categories.

Note that students sometimes pursue a degree for personal enrichment, not vocational placement. Furthermore, placement rates are not yet available for some degree programs (i.e., DLd, MALC) due to recency of program launch.
