Where are the grads headed?

This is more anecdotal than statistical, but I think that my experience as part of a “Carleton family” speaks to the school’s ability to put its graduates on the path to success in any number of fields. There are six of us (plus a Carleton spouse) in two generations! (My grandmother was also accepted, but her father wouldn’t let her attend because he didn’t know anyone in Northfield.)


I (class of 2001) was an English major, went on to pursue a Masters in theater management at Yale, and I now run a non-profit theatre company
My younger sister (class of 2004) was an economics major who received her law degree from the University of Minnesota (in a class that included several other Carls)
My dad (class of 1969) was an economics major who went on to receive a Masters at Berkeley and a law degree from Harvard
My aunt (class of 1977) was an English major who received her MBA from Dartmouth and now works in banking
My cousin (class of 2000) is a political science major who now works in sports administration, and his wife (also class of 2000) works in hospital administration
My other cousin (class of 2003) was a Math major who received his PhD at U. Mich and is a tenure track assistant professor
