Hey Everyone, I am really interested in Wesleyan for undergrad, my one drawback is whether or not it will get me where iI need to in my career after graduation. Is Wesleyan good at getting their students into top MBA programs, and getting top companies to come recruit their students. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. I really do love Wesleyan,
I just want to make sure that I will be able to get a good job/MBA after.
Wesleyan is one of the few LACs that publishes post-graduation results for the preceding senior class. Six months following Commencement 2016, seventy-one percent of them were employed. Of those, 22% were in the consulting and financial services industry. The largest employer was Booz Allen, followed by Google, followed by Massachusetts General Hospital. Three seniors found their way to Goldman Sachs. So, the roadmap is certainly there for top companies: http://www.wesleyan.edu/careercenter/career-outcomes.html
@TryHard44, yes all of the top LAC’s such as Wesleyan are well represented in both the top MBA programs and the most highly regarded companies in the country. Many high tech icons, including Mark Cuban and those from Google, believe that a liberal arts experience is best suited for the future workplace; here’s a recent article that speaks to his thoughts - https://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/21/these-college-majors-are-the-most
Thanks so much, I jus wanted to know if they were able to get me a top job coming out of college as long as a study hard in college.
