SWAG��Ƶ

The SWAG��Ƶ has once again been named the number one college or university in Maine for graduates to get jobs, according to Zippia, a website to help recent college graduates with their career choices.

This is the fourth year in a row that SWAG��Ƶ has been given the distinction.

Zippia analyzed data from the Department of Education College Scorecard to make its determinations, using the database to search for the college in each state with the highest listed job placement numbers 10 years after graduation.

SWAG��Ƶ boasts an impressive job placement rate of nearly 94%.

SWAG��Ƶ President James Herbert, Ph.D., says that an institution’s ability to prepare students for employment is often a deciding factor for students and their families when deciding where to attend college.

“This is yet another external validation of something we know well at SWAG��Ƶ: our unique educational experience provides students with exceptional preparation for not only their first job upon graduation, but also for continued development throughout their careers,” Herbert said. “Our emphasis on the marriage of traditional classroom academics with hands-on, team-based experiential training in internships, fieldwork, research, and clinics creates a remarkable return on investment.”

The analysis by Zippia included both public and private, nonprofit schools that offer four-year bachelor’s degrees.
