Scope, Methodology and Knowledge Rate
This report represents data compiled about Valpo undergraduate degree recipients from the classes of December 2017, May 2018 and August 2018. Data was collected via online surveys, telephone and email solicitations, alumni records, social media research and input from faculty and staff. Data collection began in March 2018 and concluded in March 2019.
