Method
Career data were collected from multiple sources and compiled for this report according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers’ standards and protocols for college graduate first destination surveys. The most recent response from the graduate or the academic department was used in the analysis. Some graduates seeking further education were also employed and a determination was made based on full-time status.

Brief online survey distributed to students via email beginning in the spring semester and via QR code during commencement central and commencement ceremonies. Asked for updated contact, job, and graduate school information. Also allowed student to request help from the Center for Career Development. |

With the graduation survey moving from a paper to an online format, a separate survey is no longer used. Alumni are sent the link to the Online Survey of Graduating Students. |
| National Student Clearinghouse Responses = 22 |
