2011 Career Destinations

Graduates were requested to participate in the survey to provide relevant information regarding the transition from college to career/graduate school. The contents of this document reflect the information gleaned from that effort, demonstrating “life after university” with regard to employment, graduate school, salary, location, etc. There were 2,318 graduates. 1,398 graduates completed the survey (60.3% response rate). • 68.0% (n=951) indicated they were employed full-time • 16.4% (n=229) indicated they were employed part-time • 6.5% (n=91)indicated they were unable to find employment and were not enrolled in graduate school • 1.7% (n=24) indicated they were unable to find employment and enrolled in graduate school • 5.4% (n=75) indicated they were not seeking employment and were enrolled in graduate school • 2.0% (n=28) indicated they were not seeking employment were not currently enrolled in graduate school 47.9% (n=669) of respondents reported accepting full-time or part-time employment in Montana.
