Here are statistics taken from our fall 1999 student body. Many Wagner students are recent college graduates.
Large numbers choose to work in the public or private sector before attending school.
Increasingly, individuals with private sector backgrounds and experiences come to the school in order to redirect their skills and expertise toward the public and nonprofit worlds. Among our most experienced MPA and MUP students, post-college work averages about five years. The office has developed a comprehensive career development program, which consists of career related workshops, seminars, special events, and career resources to assist students in their job search. Wagner graduates continue to succeed in the marketplace, even as the job market becomes more competitive.
