This article presents the historical pertinence of undergraduate education to developing a career ladder within the field of vocational rehabilitation. Support for the relevance is presented through the results of an investigation of baccalaureate-level competence and preparation as perceived by graduates of rehabilitation services programs. Job histories, salary patterns, and career expectations were examined. Rehabilitation alumni included 25% who had disabilities and almost 20% who were members of ethnic minority groups. Undergraduate rehabilitation education is shown to be a part of the rehabilitation career continuum with 57% of the students transferring from community colleges and almost 80% intending to pursue a graduate degree.
