Introduction

The JBU Career Development Center surveyed all prospective JBU graduates using the JBU First Destination Survey which reports future employment and education plans. This document summarizes the analysis of the survey given to December 2018, May 2019, and August 2019 graduates. The survey was administered to prospective graduates from JBU’s traditional undergraduate (TUG), online undergraduate (OLUG), and graduate (GR) programs. In 2018-19, there were 316 TUG graduates, 126 OLUG graduates, and 206 GR graduates. Employment/Grad School Rates

Internships

Graduates were asked if they completed an internship prior to graduation.

6

Number of Jobs Applied For

Graduates were asked “How many jobs have you applied for up this date?” If a graduate selected “None” but was already employed, they are shown as “Already Employed” on the chart.

7

Gross Salary

Graduates were asked to indicate their gross salary range. Only graduates who reported Full-Time- Employment are included here.

8

Purpose for Completing Degree

Graduates were asked to indicate their original purpose or purposes for completing their degree.

9

Meet Goals

Employed graduates were asked to indicate whether or not their job met their goals for after-JBU- employment.

10

Career Assistance

Students were asked if they received assistance from the Career Development Center, Professor in their major, faculty advisor, or “other”. They could select as many as apply. In addition to the self-reported CDC usage data, we used CDC records to determine if a student participated in a CDC event anytime from 2016-17 through 2018-19.

11

Handshake Usage

Although not a part of the First Destination Survey, the Career Development Center collected usage statistics on Handshake. For this analysis, we analyzed Handshake usage by our 2018-19 graduates. Over half of TUG graduates logged into Handshake at least once, but only 25% completed a profile. Login and profile-creation rates were lower for GR and OLUG graduates.
