Where this leads
Real career pipelines from this school, based on alumni outcomes and recruiting patterns.
- Charleston tourism/hospitality management: strong local pipeline, limited upside salary-wise
- Finance roles in Charlotte NC: better tier-2 banking than local options
- Government/federal contractor jobs: Beaufort MCRD, Charleston Naval Base proximity
- Real estate development: Charleston market overheated, but deals still flow locally
- Accounting firms regionally: CPA pipeline solid, not Big Four feeder school
