Major in women\u2019s, gender, and sexuality studies at the University of Mary Washington and you\u2019ll explore a breadth of gendered experiences, complicated as they are by race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality and class.

Graduate Data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Undergraduate outcome data is collected by the UMW Career Center each year. The data is then broken down by major in order to determine how many graduates in each major are employed, attending graduate school, or pursuing a different path within 6 months of graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

“Knowledge Rate<\/strong>” describes the percent of graduates for which the institution has reasonable and verifiable information concerning the graduates’ post-graduation career activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Career Outcomes Rate<\/strong>” describes the number of graduates who have landed in any of the employment categories (full-time, part-time, internship) in addition to service, military, and continuing education divided by the total number of students for whom an outcome is known.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
