How to find out where a College's Graduates are now? I am looking at graduate schools and one of the things I would like to know about the schools I'm looking at is where recent graduates are now. I realize that contacting the colleges individually would certainly work. However, there are a lot of colleges out there, and it is untenable to ask them all individually. Is there a place where this kind of thing is available online?
If your looking at PhD's who presumably wanted to go on to academic careers, and if you can get a list of the graduates from a particular year, then you can generally track those people down by searching for them using Google.  Most people who've remained in academia have at least some presence on the web.  Folks who go to work in industry often become invisible.  

The hard part is getting a list of graduates from a particular year.  This can sometimes be done using commencement programs.  I have done this using the mathematics genealogy project at:

Despite the name, this database has records for computer science, mathematics, and statistics graduates from many institutions.  You can search by institution name and year of PhD (e.g. I'm Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 1992.)
