Bradley continues its focus on student success, with numerous initiatives getting underway in the coming months.
If the ultimate purpose of college is to broaden a student's knowledge and prepare them for the future, getting employed after earning a degree is a key marker of success.
Recently, the career site Zippia ranked Bradley University the top school in Illinois for preparing students to find a job after they graduate. Over a five-year average, 93 percent of Bradley students were employed or continuing their education within six months of graduation.
