Encourage students to take initiative and be active in developing their career, using Career Services to help guide them towards success in a career and our society as a whole.
Help students understand that developing a career path is truly a life-long process.

Graduates from McKendree University work in a variety of settings after graduation, including large corporations, small businesses, schools, hospitals, government agencies, and non-profit organizations, among others. The Graduate Success Rate for the Class of 2008 is 95%, as determined through a survey distributed to all graduating seniors before and after graduation.
