Where do students go after graduation?

An advanced skill in Chinese has long created a very favorable edge when looking for work.

We have placed many students in various federal agencies and departments and private corporations.

Some students also go on to pursue graduate degrees at Pitt and other institutions in such areas as computer science, medicine, law, government, social sciences, and humanities.
