N.H. University's Program Offers Job Guarantee

The university's new Employment Promise Program will be available to full-time undergraduates beginning with the class of 2020

New Hampshire's Rivier University is promising students they will find jobs within nine months of graduation.

The university's new Employment Promise Program will be available to full-time undergraduates beginning with the class of 2020. Through the program, the university promises students that they will land a job within nine months of graduation, and if they do not, the school will either pay their federally subsidized students loans for up to a year or enroll them in up to six master's degree courses tuition-free.

The program includes a contract outlining goals and expectations, specialized academic and career plans and mentorship through the university's career development center.

Rivier, located in Nashua, has about 2,600 students.
