These reports constitute the only centralized placement data collection for the U of A and serve as a resource for career planning for current and prospective students, used by colleges/schools, departments, employers and other stakeholders. These data are also reported to various organizations that rank colleges, such as US News and World Report, the College Portrait of Undergraduate Education/Voluntary System of Accountability, National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), Princeton Review survey, Peterson’s Undergraduate survey, College Board Survey, and a few others. U of A Class of 2019 includes those students who graduated in August 2018, December 2018 and May 2019. The primary post-graduation data collection is handled by the University Career Development Center (CDC) following the procedures outlined in the NACE Standards and Protocols for Undergraduate First Destination Surveys and the NACE Standards and Protocols for the Collection and Dissemination of Graduating Student Initial Career Outcome Information for Advanced Degree Candidates. The deadline for completing data collection for the Class of 2019 was December 31, 2019. U of A students, who applied to graduate in August’18, December’18 and May’19 were invited by the CDC to participate in online Handshake First Destination Survey (FDS). The FDS can be accessed by the graduating students multiple times during the data collection period to ensure that the most accurate, current data is captured. Additionally, the CDC staff surveyed the graduating students during Graduation Salute events at U of A Bookstore, “non-respondent” and “still looking” graduates were contacted by CDC staff, volunteers and National Phone Campaign callers via phone later after graduation. Although most of the data is obtained directly from the graduates, also some information is collected through other sources (the graduates’ LinkedIn profiles, social media, parents, employers, faculty advisers, and, etc.). Definitions Knowledge Rate (KR) - the percent of graduates for whom the CDC has reasonable and verifiable information concerning the graduates’ post-graduation career activities.1 Career Outcome Rate (COR) - the number of graduates who have landed in any employment, plus volunteer service and military, plus continuing education divided by the number of students for whom an outcome is known. It excludes those graduates identified as not seeking an outcome. Working - consists of those accepted full time employment or part-time employment. Continuing Education - those continuing education at graduate or professional schools. Still Looking - consists of those seeking employment or seeking continuing education or planning to continue education but not enrolled yet. Not Seeking - consists of those not seeking employment or graduate school acceptance, have other plans after graduation. 1 Detailed methodology of calculations can be seen in NACE, pages 117 - 119.
