Loyola University Maryland’s Class of 2023 First Destination Survey reported that nearly 99% of graduates were employed, enrolled in graduate school, or engaged in post-graduate or military service. The findings are higher than the past two years of survey results (97.1% in 2022 and 94.1% in 2021).

Loyola’s First Destination Survey tracks the postgraduate plans of Loyola graduates within six months of graduation.

“Our graduates develop durable skills through their exposure to the liberal arts, and their ability to think critically positions them for the future,” said Christina J. Spearman, Ed.D., assistant vice president for career development. “We are so proud of the personal and professional achievements of our alumni, and this type of data highlights the value of a Loyola education. The success of our graduates is a testament to our entire Loyola community as we craft learning opportunities in and out of the classroom.”

Key data from the Class of 2023 First Destination Survey show:

  • 98.8% of Loyola graduates were employed, enrolled in graduate school, or engaged in post-graduate service or military service
  • 33% of graduating seniors continued their education, up from 31.6% in 2022
  • 80.3% knowledge rate of graduates

Loyola uses National Association of Colleges and Employers methodology, the national standard, for collecting and reporting results.
