 "High School students with talent and interest should know the full economic impact of the arts and the millions of arts-related job. According to Americans for the Arts, nationally, the arts generated $135.2 billion of economic activity—and supports  4.13 million full-time jobs and generates $86.68 billion in resident household income. 熊猫在线视频 fully prepares its students for a variety of professions in the arts." - Dean Mark Towner, School of Visual and Performing Arts.

Graduates of Endicott’s art and design programs typically work as creative staff in design, entertainment, marketing, media, or communications departments within established and often world-renowned organizations while some alumni transition to the workforce as entrepreneurial freelancers. The College’s commitment to state-of-the-art digital media, equipment, and software increases alumni’s potential for working in interactive media, building information modeling, motion graphics, and both fine art and commercial photography. Those pursuing careers in the arts work in museums, arts agencies, theaters, and educational settings, usually continuing their personal expression in painting, dance, or music. Art Therapy students commonly continue their education to become licensed therapists, while others prefer to begin working in healthcare and social service agencies. Masters program alumni either pursue a career in college-level teaching or significant advancement within their industries. Most recent data of art and design alumni report 84% are working and 13% are in graduate school.
