QU’s recent graduates look forward to impressive careers in everything from pro basketball to clinical psychology. In fact, according to a recent survey, nearly 80 percent of graduates of QU’s undergraduate programs are employed, and nearly 40 percent are involved in graduate education, within six months of leaving QU.

Here’s a glimpse of some of our recent grads:
