Abstract
The study contributes new empirical evidence on the associations between “high-impact” (AAC&U, 2007) college experiences and career outcomes in the years immediately following college graduation, and fills a knowledge gap surrounding the effects of specific college experiences in relation to economic and attitudinal career outcomes. ELS:2002/12 data were utilized to examine a set of high-impact college experiences in relationship to earnings, continued job-related learning and challenge, job satisfaction, job commitment, and working in a supportive environment. The results highlight that specific college experiences differentially influence career outcomes in the years immediately following college, and that major field of study, institutional quality, and major-job congruence exert the most substantial influence on early career outcomes.
