The 2014 survey was rewritten upon receiving a new, standardized data collection process administered from the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). To view NACE’s standards and protocols report, please follow this link. The information collected through this project provides valuable insight into the wide variety of opportunities and resources available to graduates of the College of Arts and Sciences (the College), as well as challenges facing current graduates. Questions about this report can be directed to Joe Lovejoy, Associate Director of Strategic Planning ([email protected]). 5 Survey Overview Methods Overview For the purpose of the first destination survey, graduates of the College were defined as undergraduate students enrolled in a degree program within the College who had applied for May graduation by April 11, 2014, 28 days prior to graduation ceremonies on May 9th. This definition produced a survey panel of 1,898 students. Data were collected from the class of 2014 using an online survey instrument (Qualtrics). Students were invited to complete the survey through email from the survey instrument and from their academic advisor. Upon adoption of the NACE data standards, data collection methods were amended to include both primary and secondary sources under the umbrella of “knowledge rate.” In addition to the primary sources, data was collected from parents, faculty, advisors, and social media outlets such as LinkedIn. This expansion of our methods increased our 2013 response rate of 78% to a knowledge rate of 93% for the May 2014 class, resulting in a 15% increase. 3% IU Database n=55 18% Social Media n=313 79% Qualtrics 93% n=1,397 Knowledge Rate n=1,765 8 First Destination Report - May 2014 Respondent Characteristics The illustrations below provide information on the genders and ethnicities of respondents. This information was imported into the survey based on institutional data and is not self-reported by survey respondents. Gender 40.8% 59.1% n=775 n=1,122 Race/Ethnicity White 77.8%, n=1,476 Non-Resident/Alien 7%, n=133 Asian 4.4%, n=84 Hispanic/Latino 4%, n=75 Black/African American 3.3%, n=62 Two or more races 3%, n=57 Native Hawaiian/Pacific 1%, n=1 American Indian/Alaska 1%, n=1 No value 5%, n=9 Survey Overview 9 Distribution of Post-Graduation Plans The illustration on the adjoining page represents student responses to the primary question of the survey: “Which of the following best describes your primary status after graduation?” There were 1,765 student responses to this question, creating the data set for Phase I. An additional 132 participants entered the survey and quit prior to responding to any questions. These students were not included in the data. Overall, 38.5% (n=677) of students responded that they were employed full-time post-graduation, 26.0% (n=459) were admitted to graduate school, 13.0% (n=230) were seeking employment, and 8.0% (n=141) were not seeking employment or education at the time of survey completion. This data includes information from all phases of data collection. The adjoining diagram represents data from both phases of survey collection, and includes students who responded to the survey at least one time between April 14, 2014, and November 14, 2014. 10 First Destination Report - May 2014 4% Seeking Admission to Grad.
