New Spartan Success covers undergrad career placement rate, experiences

Michigan State University launched Spartan Success, a new data-driven website that highlights MSU's outcomes and successes in undergraduate placement within six months of graduation.

Spartan Success uses data currently reported in MSU’s Career Services Network’s annual Destination Survey and other sources, which detail job and graduate school outcomes, salaries, location and undergrad experiences of recent MSU graduates. The website demonstrates that a degree from MSU is an investment that pays dividends.

“The value of a university education includes far more than career preparation, but today’s families are more focused than ever on seeing a return on their investment,” MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon said. “Spartan Success improves outcomes transparency for MSU graduates, which will help both current and prospective students evaluate their options.”

In addition to salary and location, Spartan Success also features data on undergraduate experiences. Michigan State ranks among the nation’s best schools for internship and study abroad programs. Providing students with these opportunities gives them a competitive edge when being considered for employment and graduate school.

New data is added annually. So, visit Spartan Success regularly to see how it evolves to give current students, prospective students, parents and alumni a more detailed picture of the Michigan State experience.
