Careers & Outcomes
Building a Bright Future
No matter your major, upon graduation from Davidson, you will enter a world of possibilities equipped with a deep appreciation for learning, the ability to solve problems creatively, the confidence to meet challenges head-on and the desire to contribute to your community-both local and global.
Career Exploration & Assessment
To maximize your success, we recommend you treat your job search as if it were another class in your academic schedule–set aside hours each week to manage the process beginning early in your senior year, take advantage of all available resources and meet with a Betty and B. Frank Matthews II ’49 Center for Career Development (Matthews Center) adviser to review and refine your job search strategy.
Graduate & Professional School
Many Davidson students choose to pursue graduate study. Between 13 and 20 percent of students enroll in graduate school directly following their Davidson education, but many more apply and are accepted to graduate programs after working for a few years. Our advisers, as well as faculty members throughout the college, are here to help you explore options for graduate and professional school.
Education, Exploration
The Education Scholars program is a nine-week "Transition to Impact" summer program for Davidson students interested in driving change at every level of our education system. This program places students in immersive, project-based internships with local partners in and around the Charlotte education system.
