Information was provided by the Xavier University Registrar, Academic Departments, GradStar, Pre-Med, and
Office of Planning and Institutional Research.
Employment data is largely based on information collected at Commencement exercises, and may not reflect
students who obtained employment afterwards.
Employment and Graduate/Professional School information are not mutually exclusive categories; some students
may be both working and attending graduate/professional school.
Secondary Education majors are included both in their teaching discipline and in Education.
