The interactive chart below shows the range of sectors and sub-sectors of the economy that employ our alumni. The industries are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), a standardized industry classification system used by federal statistical agencies. NAICS offers different levels of detail. The NAICS 2 digit sector codes provide a higher level of aggregation, whereas the NAICS 3 digit sector codes offer a narrower, more-detailed description.
