A study of the early career paths of University of Illinois graduates reveals strong and steady success among new alumni from the College of LAS.
About 89 percent of new LAS alumni are securing a first destination soon after graduation, according to the Illini Success initiative, a university-wide effort to better understand the early career paths of new alumni. First destinations include employment, continuing education, or volunteer/service positions.
Among the statistics detailed within the report, the average starting salary of new alumni grew significantly during the past year for several LAS units, including mathematics and statistics, which grew from $70,342 in 2017-18 to $77,523 in 2018-19.
