Portrait of Chelsea Bayko

Saint Vincent holds a very strong place in my heart. The professors at Saint Vincent poured into us from an educational standpoint and from a personal standpoint. It made me realize how I wanted to shape the lives of other people through education.”

First Destination Report for 2022-23 Graduates

Post-graduation information is collected by the Career and Professional Development Center as part of the annual First Destination Survey via paper, email, and phone surveys and is reported one year after graduation. We attribute our excellent response rate – 92 percent for 2022-23 graduates – to the personal connections we make with our students during their time at Saint Vincent, as well as the relationships we maintain with our alumni.

Saint Vincent College reports a success rate based on students who report that they are either employed or are attending post-secondary institutions in their fields of interest or academic area of study.

Within one year of graduation, 97% of members of the Class of 2023 are employed or attending graduate school. This data reflects a 92% knowledge rate among our 283 graduates who completed their degrees in August 2022, December 2022, and May 2023.
