About the Senior Survey

The Senior Survey (SS) has been administered at Florida State University (FSU) since 2006 as a part of the Graduate Follow-Up Study. Each semester the Office of Research and the Career Center administer a web-based survey to seniors prior to their graduation. The survey instrument covers a broad range of items on post-graduation plans, collegiate experiences, and other questions related to students’ time at FSU. To provide participants an efficient survey experience and to stimulate quality responses on specific areas of interest, survey logic is incorporated into the design. Each respondent will be given the same branch items themed on Primary Plans 1 after graduation, Career Services, and FSU experiences. Respondents will also be given tailored items themed on employment, continuing education, and other options 2 based on their particular answers to Primary Plans [See Appendix 1 for the full version of the SS instrument and Figure 1 for the Survey Logic Model] Figure 1.

Other Options The 2012 SS was distributed in April to the population of 6,086 seniors comprised of fall 2011 graduates (n=1,687) and spring 2012 graduates (n=4,399). One thousand eight hundred and twenty four seniors (Fall 2011: 245; Spring 2012: 1,579) from 14 FSU colleges completed the survey, resulting in a 30% overall response rate. Response rates are shown to vary considerably (lowest=23%, highest=41%) across colleges [See Table 1 for overall survey statistics and Figure 2 for college responses].

Profile of Graduating Seniors

The distribution of student characteristics from the SS respondents closely resembled the senior student population with some dispersion on gender. The majority of seniors who responded to the survey were female (63%), white (72%), and Florida residents (96%). Compared to the 2012 senior population, the 2012 SS respondents contained a much lower proportion of male students (Population: 43%; SS: 37%) and a slightly higher GPA (Population mean GPA=3.20; SS mean GPA=3.31). In terms of Primary Plans after graduation, over half (51%) of the respondents chose employment, while a large amount (42.9%) of the respondents chose continuing education [See Table 2].

The length of time students (including the students who transferred to FSU from other institutions) required to obtain a bachelor’s degree varied from two semesters to more than fifteen semesters. Roughly one third (2011 Fall: 27%; 2012 Spring: 32%) of the seniors took 8 semesters to get the bachelor’s degree, while a small proportion (7% to 5%) of the seniors indicated spending 14 or more semesters to get the degree [See Figure 3].

Destination Data

The Graduate Follow-up Study aims to track the destinations of FSU graduates based on their Primary Plans.

However, the study’s design also accounts for the reality that participants may engage in noteworthy activities in addition to their Primary Plan. To capture the full breadth of post-college activity, the Senior Survey allows crossover from a student’s Primary Plan into other activities based on the student’s responses, therefore yielding higher headcounts in post-college activities than the number of students indicating those activities as their Primary Plan.

A. Primary Plans

As the main guiding question of the survey, Primary Plans after graduation were also summarized at the college level with more detailed classifications. Employment and continuing education remained the two most popular plans for seniors across every college. However, the percentages of students choosing each specific plan were unevenly distributed between colleges. For example, the College of Applied Studies yielded 100% on secured employment while the College of Music only had 10% of respondents reporting secured employment. Besides the enrollment differences embedded among colleges, the scattered distributions of Primary Plans may also be attributed the low number of respondents (summarized as row total) for some colleges [See Table 3].

B. Employment Employment Characteristics

The majority (SS: 51%%; Fall 2011: 53%; Spring 2012: 51%) of seniors considered employment as their Primary Plan after graduation. Among these students who chose to work, over half (SS: 60%; Fall 2011: 82%; Spring 2012: 57%) of the students had secured a job at the time of survey administration, while the rest of the students were still actively seeking employment. A detailed breakdown of employment revealed that most of the jobs seniors secured were full time (SS: 91%; Fall 2011: 93%; Spring 2012: 90%), not self-employment (SS: 96%; Fall 2011: 97%; Spring 2012: 96%), and in the state of Florida (SS: 64%; Fall 2011: 69%; Spring 2012: 63%). The majority (SS: 75%; Fall 2011: 79%; Spring 2012: 74%) of the jobs also required a college degree (SS: 75%; Fall 2011: 79%; Spring 2012: 74%) and were related to students’ majors (SS: 79%; Fall 2011: 74%; Spring 2012: 81%) [See Table 4].

Annual Salary

The survey also provided data on employed graduates’ annual salaries. Roughly one third (Fall 2011: 37%; Spring 2012: 32%) of the seniors indicated their annual salary was within the range of $30,000-$49,999, with very small portions of seniors reporting they held an unpaid internship (Fall 2011: 2%; Spring 2012: 7%) or with an annual salary of $70,000 or more (Fall 2011: 4%; Spring 2012: 3%). Compared to the Spring 2012 sample, respondents from the Fall 2011 graduates had a slightly higher percentage of students whose annual salary was within the lower to medium bands: Less than $20,000 (Fall 2011: 16%; Spring 2012: 13%), $20,000-$29,999 (Fall 2011: 23%; Spring 2012: 19%), $30,000-$49,999 (Fall 2011: 37%; Spring 2012: 32%). Data indicated a lower percentage of students whose annual salary was within the higher bands: $50,000-$69,999 (Fall 2011: 17%; Spring 2012: 19%) [See Figure 4 and Table 5].

C. Continuing Education Current Status

Besides employment, continuing education was another major path that nearly half of the seniors (43%) considered after graduation. Survey items related to current status for continuing education revealed that a very small portion (SS: 3%; Fall 2011: 10%; Spring 2012: 2%) of students were already attending an institution to continue their education; around half (SS: 46%; Fall 2011: 61%; Spring 2012: 48%) of the graduating seniors planning to continue their education had received admission offers from graduate or professional schools; another small portion (SS: 15%; Fall 2011: 10%; Spring 2012: 16%) of seniors were still waiting for admission decisions; approximately one third (SS: 36%; Fall 2011: 42%; Spring 2012: 35%) of the seniors planned to continue education in the future [See Table 7].

Institutions and Areas of Study

Students indicated attending or planning to attend institutions in 4 countries, 33 states, and the District of Columbia. Florida was the most popular state with the majority of students pursuing continuing education indicating they would be attending a Florida institution (SS: 62%; Fall 2011: 61%; Spring 2012: 62%). The list of the broad fields of study shows that health professions and related programs was the most popular broad field of study students chose to pursue, followed by legal professions and studies, business, management, education, and social sciences. Looking closer for the more specific programs of study, medicine was on the top of the list, followed by law, and social work [See Table 8].

FSU Experiences

To assess the impact of students’ participation in activities and programs at the University, the survey instrument included a series of performance indicators that measured students’ collegiate experiences at FSU. The graduating seniors reported active engagement on numerous activities on campus as well as off campus. The majority of seniors had participated in a student organization (SS: 78%; 2011 Fall: 70%; 2012 Spring: 79%), community service or volunteer work (SS: 73%; 2011 Fall: 67%; 2012 Spring 73%), and/or part time employment off campus (SS: 60%; 2011 Fall: 68%; 2012 Spring 59%) [See Table 10].
