At each graduation ceremony, the Office of Career Services distributes a survey to determine a variety of statistics. With this survey, we can reach not only our registrants but a large percentage of the graduating class and survey their employment status, career and post-graduate school plans. It is important to note that not all surveys are returned nor all questions answered. Results are based on total number of surveys returned.
