207 3083 The percentage of completed surveys was quite high. Of 23 departments with 50


or more degree recipients, 18 returned at least 90% of their goal of 50 forms. The mean completion rate for the 18 departments with less than 50 degree recipients was 70%.


Because the large departments were only asked to contact 50 students, the target


number of completed surveys for this project was 1,674. University-wide, the survey information was obtained for a total of 1,612 recent graduates. Adjusting for the fact that several of the large departments contacted more than 50 students (the aggregate “over- survey” was 213 which was subtracted from the total of 1,612 ), it was determined that 84% of the targeted students were surveyed. This proportion is almost exactly the same as the percent for the previous year’s Employment/Education Survey. This is a high response rate for a telephone survey and reflects (1) a conscientious effort on the part of most departments to contact students and (2) the high level of trust and interest that recent alumni have in USU.


RESULTS Selected aggregate results for the colleges and USU are presented and discussed


in this section. The percentages shown for colleges are weighted averages of department data, with the weights being the proportion of total college degrees awarded by the
