This rate may also include graduates employed in jobs unrelated to their degree or who were employed while attending Purdue Global. “Knowledge Rate” depicts the percent of graduates for whom a career outcomes destination is known. For further information on the “Career Outcomes Rate” or the “Knowledge Rate,” contact the Purdue Global Center for Career Advancement at careerservices@purdueglobal.edu. All figures are rounded to the nearest whole percentage point and include data prior to the March 2018 purchase of Kaplan University by Purdue University and subsequent creation of Purdue University Global.
