In accordance with career services surveys at other schools, we are trying to help our students gain a better understanding of what types of offers they can typically expect from employers. Not only will this information help Bereans, but it will provide our employer partners with a more realistic expectation of what our graduates are earning so that they may be compensated accordingly. We will not tie this info to you specifically, but would speak in general terms such as “5 of our Biology students went on to Graduate School and 3 went to work for employers and are being paid an average of $35,000.”
