Graduate School Offers Another Opportunity for Hartwick Students

For Nicole Chaora ’24, graduating from Hartwick College with a double major in math and physics was just the first step in her education.

“As an international student, Hartwick was the perfect foundation for my education. Because I was able to explore courses beyond my math and physics courses, I could see where business, social innovation and technology intersect.”

Following graduation, she chose to pursue her master’s degree in engineering management at Dartmouth, combining her passion for engineering and technology with the business management skills she learned as part of the Baker-Simpson Entrepreneurial Fellowship.

“Hartwick really opens up a lot of opportunities for students, including those from international backgrounds. The personalized instruction, the chances to do funded research with faculty – they wouldn’t get that at a lot of schools.”

Director of the Center for Global Education

According to Hartwick’s recent first destination survey, 90 percent of students from the class of 2023 are in graduate school or secured employment within six months of graduation. Hartwick students have gone on to top-tier programs at Columbia University, Georgetown, Fordham and Binghamton University, among others.

“Preparation for graduate school is an important part of the career development process,” said Megan Gray, assistant vice president, Career Development & Network Engagement.

“In addition to the work that professors do to help their students decide where to go after Hartwick, our Career Development and Network Engagement team provides workshops, tools and direct connections to alumni mentors and grad school representatives to explore options, attend workshops and help with applications, interviews and more.”

“My professors connected me with internships and opportunities I hadn’t considered before,” said Sarah Nasaka ’24, an economics and mathematics major now studying economics and computer science at Drexel University. “They really empowered me and helped me build my curiosity.”

“A Hartwick education is more than just a degree—it’s a launchpad for a vibrant and successful life,” said James Kellerhouse, vice president for institutional advancement and external relations. “Our students leave prepared not only for graduate school but also for dynamic and fulfilling careers. The rigorous academic programs, combined with real-world and internship opportunities, ensure that our graduates are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to contribute to their communities and careers.”
