Office of Institutional Research & Effectiveness
Every year, the Office of Institutional Research & Effectiveness, with the assistance of the Career Services Center (CSC), surveys University degree recipients to ascertain students' post-UD employment and educational plans. This report summarizes the career and educational plans of students who completed their degree requirements at the University of Delaware between Summer 2012 and Spring 2013 (terms 2125, 2128, 2131, and 2133). The Career Plans Survey was administered to all undergraduate and graduate degree recipients through a combination of 1) Survey cards distributed at select college convocations and 2) an online survey. See Appendix A for a copy of the Career Plans Survey card administered at the College of Engineering convocation. After the Survey cards were distributed at select college convocation ceremonies in May 2013, an invitation was sent to all undergraduate and graduate degree recipients via email with the URL of the 2013 Career Plans Survey (http://www.udel.edu/IR/cplans2013) in March 2014. As a final follow-up, a personalized email from each student’s Dean was sent in August 2014 and provided graduates the survey’s URL. Additionally, the CSC webpage linked to the survey’s URL to assist with data collection. Data obtained from all of the above sources are incorporated in the results.
For the 2013 cohort, the overall response rate for baccalaureate degree recipients was approximately 34 percent; for graduate degree recipients it was approximately 27 percent. The data available on this website reflect the structure of the seven undergraduate and graduate colleges in place during the 2012-13 academic year.
