BW excels at preparing graduates for successful careers with innovative new approaches embedded in coursework.
According to the latest data, Baldwin Wallace University's "Career Outcome Rate" remains strong at 96%, consistent with the prior year's performance. This impressive figure reflects the percentage of students who secure employment or enroll in graduate/professional studies within six months of graduation.
BW graduates clearly outperform their peers compared to the average national Career Outcome Rate of 86%, according to data sourced from the National Association of Colleges and Employers.
Even with that success, the University is continuing to innovate in ways that focus on career success.
To complement "The Advantage," BW's new, shared "competency curriculum" rolling out this fall, Career Services has introduced an innovative program to enhance students' professional development.
The newly launched BW Career Management Program Curriculum aims to integrate career-related content directly into classroom settings. Developed in collaboration with faculty and industry experts, the 11 concise lessons are available as a resource for all faculty and aim to empower students with essential career skills and readiness.
Each lesson aligns with key learning objectives, offering practical guidance and skills on a range of topics crucial for career success including insights into charting a fulfilling career path, networking and relationship-building, job search skills and how to articulate personal skills, strengths and value.
"Both the curriculum and high outcome rates underscore the university's commitment to empowering and equipping BW students with the skills and knowledge necessary for successful careers," said Patrick Keebler, director of the BW Career Center. "We are excited about the potential impact of these new initiatives to further enhance BW's reputation for producing career-ready graduates."
