| Report 1. | Individual data for each survey respondent by major: degree received, gender, residence status, employment status, job title, name of employer, location of job (city and state), name of graduate or professional school, and type of degree planned. |
|---|---|
| Report 2. | Individual data for each survey respondent attending graduate or professional school full-time by major: degree received, gender, residence status, name of graduate/professional school, graduate/professional school major, and type of degree planned. |
| Report 3. | Summary counts and aggregate salary information for survey respondents by major: degree received, total number of graduates, number of survey respondents, number with full-time jobs, number still seeking jobs, number attending graduate or professional schools, and salary information. Salary information reflects full-time employment only. |
Note: The first two columns of each report indicates each major and degree combination (sorted alphabetically). Majors are followed by the degree awarded (e.g., Animal Science - B.S. - Agriculture; Animal Science, Master of Science; Animal Science, Doctor of Philosophy, etc.).
An example of the Post-Graduation Activities Survey is available. References to questions on this survey are hyper-linked to the corresponding question on the survey.
