CRDM alumni have an exceptionally high job placement rate. Many 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, private industry, or with the government. The interdisciplinary nature of the CRDM program has provided diverse opportunities for alumni.
