Analysis of Career Plans

TOTAL NUMBER OF RESPONDENTS - 419

NOTES: Muhlenberg's "success rates" with medical and law school placement historically average between 70% and 90%. In addition, the College does not prohibit any student from applying to medical or law school, and works with all students to help them realize their career goals.

"Miscellaneous" includes part-time employment, travel, volunteer work, unemployment, and non-employment by choice (e.g. awaiting graduate/professional school acceptance, etc.).

Professional School Enrollment

The schools listed below reflect enrollment of Muhlenberg College students over the past four years. Reflecting a nationwide trend, many students work a year or two before entering graduate or professional school. In the case of MBA programs especially, it is often recommended that the student work full-time before entering the graduate business program.
