TRADITIONAL UNDERGRADUATE BACCALAUREATE COLLEGES:

Class of 2019 First Destination Survey

ABOUT THE SURVEY

The first destination survey provides an overview regarding the status of Eastern University Traditional

Undergraduate Baccalaureate (TUB) alumni within six to nine months of graduation. For the purposes of this

survey, “Class of 2019” is defined as a TUB student who graduated in August 2018, December 2018, or May

2019.

The Center for Career Development gathered statistics using the professional guidelines set forth

by NACE (National Association for Colleges and Employers). The First Destination Survey, created

by Handshake using NACE guidelines, was distributed electronically to TUB alumni. Data were also

gathered via paper surveys at May 2019 graduation rehearsal. Faculty members were contacted

via email in early 2020 about graduates whose status remained unknown. Additionally, information

on non-responders was captured from updated professional profiles on social media si tes

(primarily LinkedIn) as well as employer webpages.

Through this extensive process, we obtained an 86% knowledge rate of the Class of 2019.

“Knowledge rate”, as defined by NACE, is the “percent of graduates for which an institution has

reasonable and verifiable information concerning the graduates’ post -graduation career

activities.” Our intention is to provide a summary of first destination highlights, as well as a specific

breakdown by TUB Colleges for the Class of 2019.

Submitted by Sarah Todd, M.Ed ’13, Director , Center for Career Development, 4/11/20

GENERAL SUMMARY

96% of the Class of 2019 survey respondents are employed, involved in post-

graduate education, or serving in full-time volunteer work within 6-9 months of

graduation.

Graduates of the Class of 2019 were asked to identify their primary activity after graduation.
