POST - GRADUATE SURVEY – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ABOUT THE SURVEY
The purpose of the annual post-graduate survey is to capture information on the employment and graduate school status of Messiah College alumni within six to nine months of graduation. Statistics provided are based on information received through a variety of methods. First, a questionnaire was conducted at the cap and gown distribution in May. In September and then in November, an electronic follow-up survey was sent to all graduates who initially responded “still seeking” or didn’t respond to the cap and gown survey. From there, information was gathered from phone surveys and updated professional profiles on social media sites such as LinkedIn. Finally, a request was distributed to Messiah educators for any additional information on graduates whose status remained unknown. Through this extensive process, responses were collected from 82 percent of the Class of 2010. The goal of this report is to provide summary highlights, as well as a breakdown by academic departments, of the post-graduate activity for the Class of 2010.
GENERAL SUMMARY
Graduates of the Class of 2010 were asked to identify their primary activity six to nine months after graduation.
80% of the Class of 2010 who responded to this survey were employed or in a graduate or professional program within six to nine months after graduation.

NATIONAL COMPARISONS
The statistics presented in this report must be presented within the nation's current economic context. According to the National Association of College's and Employers:
"The Class of 2010 faced a difficult job market. The nation’s unemployment rate peaked during the fall of their senior year, reaching a level that had not been experienced for nearly 30 years. These graduates witnessed the struggle the Class of 2009 faced in finding a job—in sharp contrast to the classes that graduated from 2005 through 2008. Therefore, it is not surprising that this year’s graduates differed from previous classes in what they planned to do immediately after getting their degrees. The principal difference between the plans for this year’s graduates and those of previous years is that 2010 graduates are less likely to enter the work force directly after college.
Just over 24 percent (24.4 percent) of applicants had a job secured for after graduation. In 2009, only 19.7 percent had a job in hand, while in 2007 more than 50 percent of senior applicants had secured a job to go to after graduation."
- “Moving On 2010: Student Approaches and Attitudes toward the Job Market for the College Class of 2010,” National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE)
Thus, friends and supporters of Messiah College can gain confidence through the statistics about our graduating class presented in this report. The national numbers prove that even in these tough times, our recent graduates are able to rise above the challenges presented by a weakened economic climate.
Given the challenging national economic climate, the Messiah College Class of 2010 fell in line with the national average for securing employment within the first six to nine months following graduation.
