EMSI employs a detailed matching process that connects employment data to the list of graduates provided. The resulting employment information includes data from three categories: government sources, online job posting activity, and professional profiles and resumes. While the results from EMSI’s matching provide a glimpse into the careers of alumni, these results are limited to alumni who had publicly available information on their employment/career. Importantly, these results do not provide calculated rates of employment/unemployment or data on all alumni (such as number of alumni employed by a particular organization or company).

The overall match rate, or percentage of alumni for whom EMSI found a match, was 37.4%.

Table 2 below illustrates that regardless of degree level, the College of Engineering and the College of Business and Economics had the highest match rates of their alumni whereas the College of Health Sciences and the College of Education had the lowest match rates.

Alumni Outcomes and Career Pathways Project Background In 2018, Boise State contracted with EMSI of Moscow, ID for their Alumni Insight service. EMSI employs a detailed
matching process that connects employment data to the list of graduates provided. The resulting employment
information includes data from three categories: government sources, online job posting activity, and professional
profiles and resumes. While the results from EMSI’s matching provide a glimpse into the careers of alumni, these
results are limited to alumni who had publicly available information on their employment/career. Importantly,
these results do not provide calculated rates of employment/unemployment or data on all alumni (such as number
of alumni employed by a particular organization or company).
Methods All living alumni who earned a bachelor’s degree or above from Boise State up through December 2017 were
included in the analysis. The overall match rate, or percentage of alumni for whom EMSI found a match, was
37.4%. As might be expected, match rates were higher for more recent graduates and decline markedly for alumni
who are further from graduation. See Table 1.
