Negotiate Offers

What is a salary negotiation?

Salary negotiation is the process of determining and agreeing upon the amount and/or types of compensation that an organization will pay an employee for work. It is not simply a series of discussions to increase your pay, but instead, an agreed-upon package that meets the needs of both the employer and employee.

Career Outcomes

The term Student Outcomes refers to undergraduate outcomes within the 6-9 months following graduation, providing a snapshot of Arcadia undergraduates’ success following degree completion. The data is collected through a survey distributed to students at graduation, and again in the months following, along with knowledge gained from faculty, LinkedIn, and phone calls to our graduates, in accordance with national standards. The knowledge rate of outcomes for each class was 79.8% for the class of 2023, 86% for the class of 2022, 79% for the class of 2021, 81% for the class of 2020, and 87% for the class of 2019, though response rates vary among colleges and departments.
