Alumni Outcomes

The Office of Institutional Research gathers data through surveys that helps inform the mission of Pomona College, including information about recent graduates and alumni who are five and 10 years out. 

According to a recent survey of alumni, 81 percent of alumni were either pursuing or had completed an advanced degree within 10 years of graduating Pomona. While many work or pursue other opportunities before entering graduate or a professional degree program, many head straight there after graduation.

For the Class of 2019, some of the graduate/professional school destinations included: California Institute of Technology, Dartmouth, Duke, Georgetown, Harvard, London School of Economics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Princeton, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, University of Cambridge, Yale.
