Future Plans of 2012-13 Bachelor's Degree Recipients

Survey Administration Process: Candidates for graduation are asked to provide information about their future plans as part of the online application for graduation. Candidates are asked "What is MOST LIKELY to be your main activity or activities upon graduation?(check all that apply)" These data represent the plans of the December 2012, May and August 2013 graduates; 7,388 out of 7,511 applicants (98%) responded to this question on the application.

Percentages do NOT add to 100% because respondents were allowed to select more than one choice (i.e., one respondent might check both "Employment, full-time paid" and "Starting or raising a family").
