Job Placement

Ph.D. Graduates | M.S. Graduates | B.S. Graduates


Our graduates work in all sectors of the profession -- both public and private -- as skilled practitioners, managers, and consultants. They have the skills to design and develop effective communication packages, to work with leading-edge media, and to collaborate with other technical professionals to produce specialized packages of integrated graphic and textual information to suit the needs of diverse audiences.

Our graduates have careers as information architects, graphic designers, usability engineers, multimedia designers, instructional and interface designers, and technical communicators. They find excellent jobs with little difficulty. Many have grown into team leader and management positions. Others have successfully started their own consulting businesses.

The Career Development Center (CDC) plays a pivotal role in facilitating the employment process by maintaining research files on a number of employers who regularly interview at RPI. In addition, the CDC holds seminars and mock interviews to hone students' interview skills. Faculty and staff in the Language, Literature, and Communication Department also assist students in finding potential employment, co-op, and internship opportunities.
