Take the Next Step

RMU recognizes that when students decide to attend college they do it because they envision a better life for themselves-personally and professionally. By forming a collaborative relationship with students, we inspire students to assume ownership of their career goals along with the confidence of knowing they have a "coach" during the process. Students receive the tools they need to launch their careers from professionals both in and out of the classroom.

Robert Morris has one of the most comprehensive programs to support students beginning at the start of freshman year. Career Foundations works directly to meet career exploration needs of freshman and sophomores while Career Services supports the specific needs of juniors , seniors and graduates students ready to embark or advance within their profession.

RMU's curriculum consists of four required courses, one each year, specifically designed to assist students in managing their careers. Placement information is collected and calculated six months after graduation.  It is not collected by program, job title, or location.

Robert Morris University surveys students and graduates at multiple times during and after their undergraduate programs.  This data provides information on satisfaction with support services, employment and further education.
