Alumnae and Alumni Profile
The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University together have nearly 42,000 alumni - 19,000 at CSB and 23,000 at SJU. Saint Benedict alumnae are comparatively young. Nearly three-quarters of all CSB alumnae have graduated since 1980, compared to less than two-thirds of all alumni at Saint John's.
Though more than 8 in 10 CSB and SJU students come from Minnesota, a large percentage pursues opportunities outside of the state after graduation. As of December 2006, 37% of all CSB alumnae and 40% of all SJU alumni lived outside of Minnesota. The highest alumni concentrations outside of Minnesota were in Wisconsin, California, and Illinois. About 2% of alumni live outside of the United States.
Twenty percent of CSB alumnae and nearly 30% of SJU alumni are known to have completed a graduate or professional degree. Master's degrees make up approximately 80% of all advanced degrees earned by CSB alumnae and over 56% of all advanced degrees earned by SJU alumni. Almost 20% of all SJU graduates with an advanced degree hold a law degree. As student degree aspirations rise, and as the labor market continues to reward those who have pursued education beyond the baccalaureate degree, the number of graduates who report earning an advanced degree should rise. Approximately 77% of all 2010-11 seniors at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University indicate that they expect to eventually earn a graduate or professional degree.
Occupational choices vary significantly among men and women. Nearly one-quarter of all CSB alumnae with known occupations work in education-related jobs, compared to just 12% of all SJU alumni. Women also are more likely than men to work in health-related professions. Over one-quarter of Saint John's graduates are employed in business-related fields, compared to about 18% of all Saint Benedict graduates. SJU graduates are four times more likely than CSB graduates to work in a legal occupation. In total, 55% of CSB and SJU graduates work in three broad occupational clusters: business (23%), education (17%) and healthcare (15%).
