Most liberal arts bachelor’s degree graduates, 60.5%, from the class of 2014 landed full-time jobs or a place in graduate school within six months of graduation, according to results of a new study by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. The survey found 42.2% were employed full time and while 18.3% were in graduate or professional school.

The results are in line with overall outcomes for a survey for all 2014 bachelor’s degree gradates, which found that two-thirds of the class had a full-time job or was accepted into graduate or professional school within the same time period. Only 1.1% of all grads with bachelor’s degrees and 1.3% of associate degree grads were temp/contract employees, according to the study.

However, the employment/graduate school mix differs between liberal arts grads and the class as a whole, with liberal arts and humanities graduates more likely to pursue an advanced degree than the class overall and less likely to have a full-time job. The study found 18.3% are pursuing an advanced degree, compared with 16.4% for the class overall. And 42.2% have a full time job, compared with 55.4% for the class overall.

Visual and performing arts majors bucked this trend for liberal arts grads, with 49% likely to be employed full time. Liberal arts/general studies and English majors were the next majors most likely to be employed full time, at 41.4% and 38.2% respectively.

The survey includes data for class of 2014 associate and bachelor’s degree graduates from 207 colleges and universities nationwide, representing 274,000 graduates — including more than 250,000 bachelor’s degree graduates. Participating colleges and universities reported on outcomes for those earning associate or bachelor’s degrees from July 1 through June 30, 2014.
