This change in totals is due to people who double major. In order for accurate counts and percentages for each major you have to include double majors in the Employment Statistics section. * Please note that 4 majors in the Employment Statistics section have 2 numbers and a dash (/) listed in the category "# of Grads." The first number is the actual number of students HU graduated for that major in 2012. The second number is the number of students we were able to find information about. For example: in the Psychology major HU graduated 12 students. We were able to contact 10 of them and listed the combined information about their major related jobs, graduate schools, and unemployment according to 10 graduates rather than 12. * Please note that the "Unemployment" section includes graduate students unlike the percentage on page 2.

There are 5 students who double majored and are now attending graduate school. 5
