Exit Survey/Alumni Survey Benchmark Comparison |
|||
The Exit Survey/Alumni Survey Table compares the employment and graduate study expectation benchmarks of USM undergraduate degree recipients in academic year 2010-11, as indicated by their responses on the Graduating Student Exit Survey with actual circumstances three years later as indicated by respondents to the Alumni Survey. While a relatively low response rate limits the generalizability of the Alumni Survey, it does provide further evidence of undergraduate degree recipients attaining their employment expectations. Cells were left blank if no alumni in those major areas of study responded to the alumni survey. |
