Employment Status and Educational Plans of
University of Delaware Graduates:

Summary Report of the 2005 Career Plans Survey

Every year, the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, with the assistance of the Bank of America Career Services Center, 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 Fall 2004 and Summer 2005 (04F, 05W, 05S, and 05J). Surveys were mailed to all undergraduate and graduate degree recipients in October 2005 and a follow-up mailing was conducted in December for students who did not return the original questionnaire.

For the 2005 cohort, our overall response rate for undergraduate degree recipients was approximately 37 percent; for graduate degree recipients it was approximately 31 percent. The data available in this report reflect the structure of the six undergraduate colleges and one graduate college in place during the 2004-05 academic year.

For a more detailed explanation of the data contained in the Career Plans Reports, please see the Technical Appendix. There is also a sample Survey available.
