Reporting and Data Resources
While serving our students is our number one priority, we know data is important to all of our stakeholders. We hope the following reporting and data resources are helpful to our students, families, faculty/staff, and employers.

First Destination Survey
We collect information on students’ “first destination” after Clemson, salary information, and experiential education, study abroad, and research opportunities students engaged in while at Clemson. We created an interactive webpage that allows you to filter the data. Click on the link to view the results. A brief tutorial will pop up on how to use the dynamic webpage.
We distribute a survey to all of Clemson University’s graduates (bachelors, masters, and doctorate) within two weeks of the three commencement ceremonies (August, December, and May). Students receive automated reminders over a six-month period.
61.78%
of students completing the 2019-2020 first destination survey reported having accepted a full-time offer or were working full-time at the time of graduation.
