CRDM alumni have an exceptionally high job placement rate. Most graduates remain in academia, working as professors or lecturers in English, Communication, Cultural Studies, or Public Relations. Others have found work on e-learning projects, while still others have pursued careers in private industry or with the government. The interdisciplinary nature of the CRDM program has been appealing to hirers and the types of employment available for CRDM graduates has proven to be very diverse.
