How closely does a college major connect to a graduate’s career, and what difference can that connection make?

In a recent study, Dr. Brian Holzman and colleagues examined how the relationship between college majors and occupations shapes employment outcomes. They found that graduates in majors closely aligned with specific career fields often experience higher earnings and lower unemployment, especially when their occupations align with their studies.

Another successful Grad Camp is in the books!

The Texas A&M University System generates more than $1.6 billion in research expenditures each year.

This summer, Mason worked as a drilling intern for Oxy! 

"I spent the summer working in the Midland Basin Unit where I completed a case study evaluating the value of Oxy's first-ever Midland Basin U-turn wells could bring to the asset," Mason said. "This experience was especially meaningful because of the amount of time I spent on the rig. Being in the field gave me a strong operational foundation and directly supported the technical work behind my project."

Continuing on with National Immunization Awareness Month, check out how large animals need vaccines too!

Like humans, horses can acquire diseases that spread quickly, cause severe illness and, in some cases, prove fatal. Unlike humans, however, they have no control over their fate and rely entirely on their owners for protection.

New semester, same Kleberg.
