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 27% and 37% for master's and doctoral degree recipients. *Data displayed below is presented in aggregate only when three or more submissions have been received.
