Survey Response Rates
The rate of response of our post-graduation ("first destination") surveys directly correlated with employment percentages. During the years 2008-2011, when the percentage of students that reported employment was at its lowest, our response rates were also low. In the years of highest employment, 2013-2017, our response rates were also high. Generally speaking, our survey response rate has been 40% or higher since 2015. For students who did not respond to the survey, we use the alternative methods listed above, such as LinkedIn.
