About the Survey

The Career Center sends this survey periodically throughout the year to those who have recently graduated to obtain details on career-related outcomes. The survey is emailed to students within 3 weeks of graduation and takes 6 minutes or less to complete. Periodic reminders are sent until 5-months post-graduation to allow alumni time to report outcomes. Data is analyzed in January and February of each year for the prior graduating class and the resulting report is published each April. Results are used in a variety of ways that directly benefit graduates, such as increased potential earnings and employer recruitment, university and department accreditation, and government compliance.

Additionally, your responses are combined with those of others respondents and summarized in a report to further protect your anonymity.
