S 1519 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires institutions of higher education to collect and report employment data for certain graduates.*

This bill requires four-year public and independent colleges in New Jersey to publicly report employment data for graduates starting with the 2022-2023 class. Institutions must post annual data on their websites including employment rates in related fields, overall employment, graduate school enrollment, and average salaries one year after graduation. Colleges must also compile and update a "student consumer information report" covering graduation rates, costs, financial aid, faculty composition, and employment data. The information must be accessible to prospective students and families through the college website and a state-maintained comparative profile. This applies to all four-year public and independent institutions of higher education in New Jersey.
