After Kenyon

The best measure of our department is the success of our students, both in their undergraduate work at Kenyon and in their pursuits after graduation. Many of our students go on to graduate school in physics, related sciences, or engineering, and they wind up at some of the best graduate institutions. Others pursue medical school, computer science, teaching, or a career in business.
