Alumni Careers

MSFS is committed to helping students build challenging and rewarding career paths after graduation. Through both curricular and extracurricular activities, students create their own personal network of career advocates on and off campus. Each graduate leaves MSFS equipped with knowledge and skills that can be applied over a lifetime.

Today, MSFS alumni can be found throughout U.S. and other government agencies, private corporations, and non-governmental organizations. During the past decade, more than 95 percent of all MSFS graduates have found permanent employment within six months of graduation.
