2019 Johnson & Wales Career Outcomes Rate

9 7. 7 %

Historically higher than the national average.*

Internships are a core part of our academic programs.

They’re as important as any class with full academic credit and give you the opportunity to learn valuable lessons you can only get through firsthand experiences. Last year, more than 2,654 JWU students interned at nearly 1,518 sites worldwide.

In addition, an impressive 71% of JWU students received a job offer at the end of their paid internship.

Your classmates will become your support system — and perhaps even someday your coworkers — and having a strong network here can help when you graduate out into the world with things like teamwork, collaboration and leadership skills. We know, sounds like work. Luckily, it’s the kind of work that’s actually really fun.

Among our campuses, JWU has 150+ student-run clubs and organizations that include everything from robotics to ballroom dancing, advertising and finance.

*The career outcomes rate reflects the percentage of JWU graduates who secure full or part-time employment, are enrolled/accepted in a program of study to continue their education, are performing voluntary service, or enlist in military service within six months of graduation.

T H E VA L U E O F H A R D W O R K At Johnson & Wales, we know experience is invaluable. That’s why we’re so career-focused: You should graduate trained to take on your craft, and when you succeed, so do we. We are doing everything we can to help you make your dream a reality. In fact, 94% of our on-ground students received institutional scholarships and/or grants from the university, which often makes our tuition less than many other private universities.

Each student works with a financial planning representative that will guide them and their families through the process of financing higher education. You’ll get personal loan counseling, education and strategies to make attending JWU financially possible.
