Student Outcomes
892 of 1,769 Graduates (50%) from Class of 2025
88 %
of undergraduate alumni 10 years out say Brown prepared them for their current career
Brown alumni can be found across the nation and globe, all at different stages and all with different career paths. Neuroscience majors who become lawyers. Math majors who become artists. Economics majors who become physicians. Music majors who become developers. A student’s career journey is much more than the result of what concentration they study or where they first intern — it’s the result of a continuous cycle of self-reflection, connection and exploration of what’s out there.
Having the freedom to explore my many interests with the Open Curriculum completely changed my trajectory from a pre-med psychology concentrator my first year to a public policy concentrator. As a result, I ended up attending law school and am still practicing today.

About the Data
The Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Center for Career Exploration’s most recent data was collected from graduates of the Class of 2025, yielding information on the first destinations of 1,290 students out of the total class of 1,769 (73%). The information was culled from a variety of data sources, including our annual first-destination survey, the National Student Clearinghouse and other research.
Methodology
Information on immediate post-graduation activities is obtained through multiple sources. Graduates self-report through the First Destination survey, launched by the Center around commencement and open for six months following graduation. For the Class of 2025, survey responses account for 16% of the 1,290 graduates whose first destination we know; the remaining 84% was compiled through research: principally LinkedIn (62%), the National Student Clearinghouse (9%), which confirms enrollment in graduate and professional programs, Handshake profiles (9%) and graduate resumes (4%), together with employer hiring information. A first destination is counted only if it began by the end of November 2025.
