Post-Graduate Planning

According to the Post-Graduation by Major 2016-2019 report by Career Services, most Swarthmore students regardless of major will either pursue a graduate program or will find a job after graduating from Swarthmore. For undocumented students, post-graduate planning is more complex. The following guides offer tips for non-citizen students in considering post-graduate pathways.
