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 Purdue Global Career Services at careerservices@purdueglobal.edu.
