Findings from the Strategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP), a national study released last week, show that Americans with arts degrees are highly satisfied with their educational and career experiences. Nine out of 10 (87 percent) of arts graduates responding to the survey who are currently employed are satisfied with their jobs.

CCA President Stephen Beal commented, “I’m not surprised to see these results. As the role of creativity in our society and economy is increasingly recognized and valued, we’re seeing a growing demand for creative people across a broad range of industries. Companies and organizations are casting a wider net and actively seeking artists and designers who bring to the table an entrepreneurial spirit, distinct problem-solving skills, and a hacker/DIY mentality. Our alumni are using their education to build rewarding and meaningful careers.”
