Student Outcomes

From Here to Anywhere

At Belmont, we seek to equip our students to pursue lives of meaning and purpose and prepare them to pursue their chosen paths upon completing their degree. The First Destination Rate helps quantify how many graduates went on to secure jobs, begin graduate school or serve in the military within six months of graduation. Explore this page to see how Belmont grads are putting their education to work in the world.

 

93%*

of graduates were employed, pursuing continuing education or enlisted in the military within six months of graduation

(84% were employed, 8% were pursuing continuing education and 1% enlisted in volunteer or military service.)

 This rate far exceeds the current national average of 85.7%.

*The overall response and knowledge rate for this survey was 88% meaning data was reported or solicited from over 88% of graduating students.The first destination rate data is the result of information obtained from a survey given to graduates in every educational level (Bachelors, Masters, and Doctorate) from August 2018, December 2018, and May 2019 commencements, with the exception of College of Law.
