Salary & Hiring Information

Are you curious about the salary ranges that are being offered to USC graduates and others nationwide? Do you wonder who hires your students and what types of positions they obtain? Are you interested in the latest employment trends and the current job market?

Using our online database, JobMate, students can view job postings, apply for positions, and search our employer directory.  A variety of employers recruit on campus seeking students of all majors.  Students also use JobMate to participate in on campus interviewing.

Employment data are often difficult to determine and are greatly affected by the time students are surveyed - before graduation, at graduation, 6 months after graduation, a year after graduation, etc.  Career Center staff members survey each graduating class just prior to graduation and follow up with inquiries by email and phone one month and three months after their graduations.  For specific hiring information regarding University of South Carolina students, contact the Career Center at career@sc.edu.

Many factors contribute to a student's salary upon graduation - geographic location, previous experience, the career field, etc.  For specific information regarding the salaries of recent University of South Carolina graduates, contact the Career Center at career@sc.edu.

The Career Center provides salary data, hiring data, and information on market trends. Check out the resources below:
