College of Engineering graduates found the most success, with a 99% placement rate.
The placement rate is based on an impressive 94% response rate on the survey of 2024 graduates, according to Andrea Domachowski, director of the Polar Career Center.
“We take great pride in our placement rate. Its a reflection of the exceptional return on investment of an ONU education,” said ONU President Melissa J.
