Are you wondering where Yalies go after graduation? Perhaps you want to see what kind of summer internships are realistic for a specific class year?

The Peer Networking Lists allow you to contact recent Yale College graduates and current Yale College students to discuss their post-graduate roles and summer employment experiences. These lists are open to all students in Yale College, Yale Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, PhDs, and Postdocs.

Yale GSAS Students, Postdocs, and Yale College and GSAS Alumni must access the Peer Networking Lists by logging in through Yale Career Link. Once logged in, go to Resources, Career Library, then select the “Peer Networking Lists” from the dropdown menu.

Yale College Students can either access the lists through Yale Career Link or by selecting the relevant list below in the Resources section. To access the list through the Resources section below, you must first log into the OCS website (located at the top right).

YC Career Outcomes

The Office of Career Strategy collects information about Yale College graduates. This tool allows users to search outcomes by year and major. Please visit Statistics & Reports for more information on our data collection.

  • First Destination summaries are based on the Knowledge Rate of graduate outcomes six months after graduation according to National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) guidelines.
  • Knowledge Rate, defined by NACE, includes direct survey responses and basic employment or graduate school information collected through other sources, such as faculty, academic advisors, or LinkedIn. Yale’s information below on Starting Salary and Time of Year Offer Received is based only on direct survey responses.

Helpful Tips for the Interactive Tool:

  • There is no Enter or Submit Button; results will appear automatically
  • The default is ‘All Years’ or ‘All Majors.’ Choose specific years or majors for more granular results. Uncheck the selected major(s) to reset your search.
  • The tool returns results with at least five responses. For small majors, choose ‘All Years’ to show results
  • To ensure confidentiality, results are reported in the aggregate
  • If you require additional information contact the Office of Career Strategy
