Overall
From the career center's annual first-destination survey of the most recent graduating class:
| Outcome | Share of respondents |
|---|---|
| Employed full-time | 79% |
| Enrolled in graduate or professional school | 11% |
| Military or a full-time service program | 4% |
| Still seeking | 5% |
| Not seeking (by choice) | 1% |
The knowledge rate — the share of graduates for whom the university has verified outcome data — was 78%, above the threshold for reliable reporting. Combining the first two rows, 94% were employed or in graduate school within six months, the figure reported on quick facts.

Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every figure, rate, policy and disclosure on this page is invented; nothing here reflects a real institution.
