Transparency in Career Outcomes
At the University of Iowa, we are committed to providing accurate and transparent information about career opportunities for our graduates. While we do not guarantee employment or specific salary outcomes, we strive to share reliable data based on graduate experiences and industry trends.
Our career outcome statistics are based on verified data and reflect real employment trends among University of Iowa graduates. Our knowledge rate for all new graduates ranges between 70-75% and varies among the various programs and colleges. Utilizing a knowledge rate allows us to account for respondents reached directly by a student, responses from reliable parties, or information gathered from reliable sources (e.g., directory, LinkedIn, National Clearinghouse). For more information about the various rates presented on the dashboards below, please click on the "more information" icons to view the definitions.
We encourage users to research career paths and connect with our career services team for guidance on job opportunities, internships, and industry expectations. Further questions about career outcomes data can be directed to Sauvik Goswami.
