Post-Graduation Outcomes
Our Bobcats continue to succeed in great ways even after graduation. Let's see what they are up to next.
Survey Details
Each semester (fall, spring, summer) graduating students are surveyed about their post-graduations plans. This data is provided from student responses via the First Destination Survey (FDS). The survey collects data for a short duration to provide an at-graduation perspective of where our students are heading next. The survey opens approximately two weeks prior to commencement and closes approximately four weeks after. The survey response rate for bachelor's degree recipients is 28% and 35% for master's and doctoral degree recipients. *Data displayed below is presented in aggregate only when three or more submissions have been received.
