Salary survey
Take a look at our alumni salary survey, done every few years to capture graduates' average starting salaries.
Brandcenter graduates are ready to hit the ground running and move up quickly.
We provide career guidance to our students every step of the way. Opportunities include taking classes such as Professional Possibilities, participating in interview workshops and networking with recruiters from top agencies who visit the Brandcenter to meet our talent.
As graduation approaches, we host a two-day recruiter session to give graduating students the chance to meet over 250 agency and company recruiters. It’s a reverse career fair: You set up a table to display your work and personality, and the recruiters come to you.
