Hillier College alumni have varied and successful careers. Some choose to pursue graduate studies, others go to work directly after school. With more than 40 years of students, alumni can be found in different stages of professional development.

Alumni have attended a wide range of outstanding universities for graduate study including NJIT as well as Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Columbia, Harvard, Pratt, Princeton, Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), Rutgers, School of Visual Arts, University of Miami, University of Pennsylvania, Yale, and more.
