Curry College Guarantees Graduates Will Be Employed

Jay Gonzalez is promising students they’ll have a job within six months of graduation as one of his first major acts as a president of Curry College, a small private institution in Massachusetts. The “Curry Commitment” program will start next fall with the current freshman class. Under the new initiative, students who don’t get a job offer or who are not accepted to a graduate or professional school within the six-month period, will have the option of the college paying their student loans for up to a year, placing them in a yearlong paid internship at an organization connected to their field of study while they work with a career counselor, or covering the cost of six graduate course credits at Curry if admitted to a program.
