New Haven, Conn., March 3, 2025 – Consistency is a great measure of Return-on-Investment (ROI). For the ninth year in a row, Albertus Magnus College graduates outpace the national average when it comes to finding jobs or continuing their education within six months after earning their degrees. The Class of 2024 alumni achieved a 96-percent success rate — versus the most recent 85-percent national comparison rate, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) First-Destination Survey results. Each of the College’s last nine graduating classes have achieved at least a 95-percent success rate in the important early career success and return on investment (ROI) metric, considerably outperforming national comparison rates that hover in the mid 80-percent range.

The 2024 survey also revealed that 85-percent of Albertus graduates are working in the field of their chosen major, with the State of Connecticut, Yale-New Haven Health, Yale University, and the City of New Haven being the top employers of the 2024 class. In further support of Albertus positive impact within Connecticut, 81-percent of 2024 graduates are working or studying in-state, with another five-percent living in-state but working fully remote, all contributing to the state’s workforce and economic development.

“I continue to be inspired by the dedicated Albertus faculty and staff who are passionately focused on supporting student success — from enrollment to graduation and beyond,” said Albertus President Marc M. Camille, Ed.D. “In today’s increasingly competitive higher education marketplace and evolving workforce needs, the value of an Albertus Magnus College education continues to grow and be affirmed by our graduates through their career successes and the positive impact they have within their organizations and communities.”

“There is something wonderful to be said about consistency — it speaks volumes regarding results. It reinforces why Albertus graduates are what employers and educators call ‘career and graduate school ready,’” said Albertus’ Director of Career and Professional Development, Patrick Clifford. “Classwork combined with their invaluable experiential learning opportunities such as internships enable our graduates to develop the critical thinking and career readiness skills — preparing them to succeed in life — especially here in Connecticut.”
