96% of Queens University Grads Land Jobs in 6 Months

Queens University of Charlotte students are stepping into their futures with confidence, and the numbers tell an inspiring story. A stunning 96% of the Class of 2025 secured positive career outcomes within six months of graduation, landing jobs, starting graduate programs, or pursuing focused next steps like service work and internships.

The success didn't happen by accident. Every single student at Queens completed at least one internship, a capstone academic experience, and community-based learning before graduation. That's 100% hands-on preparation, not just classroom theory.

The Vandiver Center for Career Development spent four years coaching these students through professional development curriculum taught by industry leaders. Angela Tsuei-Strause, the center's executive director, says students received personalized guidance on everything from networking to nailing interviews.

Graduates walked into impressive positions at companies like Bank of America, Atrium Health, Duke Energy, and Lowe's. The jobs span business, healthcare, finance, technology, and education. More importantly, 90% of employed graduates accepted positions directly related to their career goals.

America Moreno, now a risk analyst at Bank of America, credits Queens with building her foundation as a first-generation college student. She says professors and advisors prioritized her growth, while coursework and campus involvement developed her confidence in public speaking, leadership, and teamwork.

The Ripple Effect

The impact extends beyond graduation day. Queens offers career services to alumni for life at no cost, creating a network of professionals across industries who continue supporting each other. That means every graduate stays connected to opportunities and mentorship long after they've left campus.

Perhaps the most telling statistic: 95% of employed graduates felt genuinely prepared for their careers. When students feel ready, employers notice. The combination of mandatory internships, real-world projects, and personalized coaching transformed nervous students into confident professionals.

These outcomes prove that intentional career preparation changes lives, one graduate at a time.
