More HFU respondents said they definitely or probably would come back to their alumni institution than the comparison groups. A higher percentage of alumni from HFU went on to pursue Master’s degrees and Vocational/ Technical degrees than the comparison groups. Compared to the other groups, HFU had fewer alumni go on to purse the following degree type: Associate’s, a second Bachelor’s, Doctoral, Professional, or Other. 13 Overall, employment rates for all alumni were relatively high and comparable. HFU had the lowest percentage of full time employment and highest percentage of part time employment. For unemployment, HFU and Comp 1 were similar but Comp 2 led with only 2.2% of alumni reporting unemployment. HFU had the highest percentage of respondents reporting an annual income within the middle range of income response options ($50,001 - $90,000) with 60.4%. This was significantly greater than Comp 1 (38.5%) and Comp 2 (48.9%). Interestingly, Comp 1 had the highest rates for the lower income ranges ($30,000 - $50,000) and Comp 2 had the highest rates for largest income ranges ($100,000 - Above $150,000). 14 Across all groups, there were low percentages of receiving grants to aid in education costs and the amount of students loans borrowed was comparable . The percentage of respondents that borrowed $20,000 or more to fund their UG education varied across the three groups with Comp 1 having the highest percentage (51.7%), Holy Family in the middle (45.9%) and Comp 2 with the lowest percentage (36.5%). Given the lack of grants received and percentage of respondents borrowing $20,000 or more to fund their UG degree, there should be some concern over the percentage of respondents who did not agree that their UG experience was worth the expense. Holy Family and Comp 2 had the same percentage (15.9%) and Comp 1 had 22.8% answer with Definitely No or Probably No to the question: Is the value of the skills, experience, and knowledge you received as an undergraduate worth the financial investment to attend this institution? 15 Although all groups had relatively comparable satisfaction rates, HFU had the highest rates of satisfaction on all of the Skills and Strengths measured except for three: Lead/Supervise, Acquire Skills & Knowledge, and Write Effectively. HFU’s highest satisfaction skills/strengths were: Make Ethical Decisions and Effective Team Member and the least satisfied skills/strengths were: Read/Speak a Foreign Language and Quantitative Abilities. 16 In general, HFU Alumni did not agree as frequently to the mission perception questions as did alumni of other institutions. Holy Family had lower scores of agreement on all of the statements except 4 (Heritage, Ethical Faculty, Career, and Personal Values). The differences between HFU and other institutions are more distinct here than the rest of the report. HFU also had scores of agreement on all of the Diversity Perception Statements compared to all of the other institutions.
