The Undergraduate First Destination Survey captures information from recent graduates to understand what Marquette alums are doing within six months of graduation. The report includes those who graduated with a bachelor�s degree in the 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 academic years.
Graduates were grouped into one of several post-graduation outcomes based on their survey response. The categories are mutually exclusive. Post-graduation service represents students who are participating in a stipend-paid post-graduation service position such as the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, or the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. Planning to continue education, not admitted/enrolled represents those not actively seeking employment and planning to enroll in a graduate/professional program. Not employed or in school, not seeking employment represents students who indicated they were not engaged in an activity and were not actively seeking employment or enrollment in a graduate/professional program. Seeking employment indicates those who were not engaged in any activity above and were still seeking employment as of December following graduation.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, an initial question was added to the survey asking respondents in the 2019-2020 cohort whether they knew of their next steps post-graduation. Respondents who indicated that they were �unsure of their next steps� are omitted from post-graduation outcome calculations.
This dashboard does not include students in the College of Professional Studies.
