For the purpose of this survey, the "Class of 2020" is defined as anyone who graduated in December 2019, May 2020, or August 2020. Statistics provided are based on information received through a variety of methods. Due to COVID-19 related closures, seniors were not able to fill out the survey at the cap and gown distribution, which typically occurs every May. Therefore, the survey was only disseminated via email and social media throughout the spring and summer months. In October, November, and December, follow-up emails were sent to alumni who had not yet responded to the survey. In January, individual academic departments were contacted via phone or email, and a request was made to all Messiah University educators for any additional information on graduates whose status remained unknown. For some students, Graduate School destinations were found by researching the National Student Clearing House Data. Finally, information on non-responders was gathered from updated professional profiles on social media sites such as LinkedIn. It is important to note that the collection process and reporting summary of results adheres to the professional guidelines set forth by the National Association for Colleges and Employers (NACE). Through this extensive process, we obtained a 74% knowledge rate of the Class of 2020. "Knowledge rate" is defined by NACE as the "percent of graduates for which an institution has reasonable and verifiable information concerning the graduates' post-graduation career activities." This report aims to provide summary highlights and a breakdown by academic department of the post- graduate activity for the Class of 2020. GENERAL SUMMARY Graduates of the Class of 2020 were asked to identify their primary status 6 to 9 months after graduation. 24% 76% Employed Continuning Education Of the 74% for whom we have verifiable data, 100% report being employed or in a graduate or professional program within 6 to 9 months after graduation. Of those, 76% of the respondents secured employment while 24% indicated graduate or professional school as their primary activity. Page 3 The statistics for Messiah University graduates compare favorably to the most recent national averages reported by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) in their "First Destination for the College Class of 2019" report. (Please note: the national Class of 2020 data from NACE will not be available until the summer of 2021). The following statistics show the national averages for the primary activity of the Class of 2019 as reported by NACE: 64.6% employment (compared to 76% for Messiah grads); 18.6% graduate-level programs (compared to 24% for Messiah grads); and 13.8% seeking (compared to 0% for Messiah grads).

  • 2019-2020 Student Achievement Summary
    Student Achievement Summary 2019-2020 Student success is at the core of Covenant College’s institutional value system. Covenant College consistently evaluates the success of its students with regard to achievement of established targets by monitoring a number of criteria: course completion, retention rates, graduation rates, state licensing examination pass rates, employment rates, and graduate school attendance rates. The criteria chosen to evaluate the success of Covenant students are appropriate and consistent with Covenant’s mission. These assessments are useful tools in measuring and supporting student success. The establishment of the Student Achievement Benchmarks involved individuals responsible for the delivery of services, program directors, faculty, deans, and vice presidents. Course completion. Covenant monitors student progress toward successful program completion ​ in many ways including monitoring course completion. Course completion is central to degree attainment and provides an indicator of faithful stewardship of resources which is important to Covenant’s mission. Covenant’s assessment of course completion is conducted within individual courses. Each student is evaluated using course-specific exams or other summative evaluations to determine acquisition of skills and knowledge in each academic discipline. The assistant vice president for institutional effectiveness calculates course completion rates of students each term. The overall course completion rates as well as the completion rates disaggregated by subject code and course level (see below) are then distributed to the dean of academic programs for review. Based on historic trends, Covenant has established two course completion benchmarks for undergraduate students. First, the overall course completion rate will reach 95% (based on a four-semester rolling average). Second, 90% of all subject codes will have a completion rate of at least 90% (based on a four-semester rolling average).

Just as God can turn bad into good and bring beauty from ashes, we have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a brighter, healthier, and more just future out of the ashes of the COVID-19 crisis. How we choose to rebuild today will shape the lives of generations to come. As faith leaders, we understand this moment as a moral opportunity to partner with Jesus in his mission to bring abundant life to all (John 10:10) by protecting our ecosystems, working for environmental justice and public health, and giving our children the gift of clean air, pure water, a stable climate, and the chance to enjoy God’s incredible creation in all its majesty. We urge you to support historic levels of investment that will safeguard creation, defend our children's health, address the impacts of climate change and pollution from fossil fuel extraction and related industries, and fulfill our moral obligation to leave a healthy world for future generations.
