In 1981, each of the 30 State University of New York (SUNY) community colleges collected follow-up data on its 1980 graduates, using varying survey instruments. Overall findings, based on a statewide response rate of 72%, included the following: (1) 90.2% of the respondents had either transferred to a four-year college or found employment; (2) of the remaining respondents, over half were not seeking employment; (3) 59% of the respondents with an associate in arts (AA) degree and 58% of the respondents with an associate in science (AS) degree transferred successfully to a four-year institution; (4) 34.9% of the AA respondents and 41% of the AS respondents went to work directly after graduation; (5) 29.9% of the respondents with associate in applied science (AAS) degrees transferred and 57.8% obtained immediate employment; (6) 21.9% of those with associate in occupational science (AOS) degrees transferred and 68% obtained employment; (7) nearly 26% of the certificate program respondents transferred, with 58.1% attaining employment; and (8) 90.7% of the diploma graduates obtained immediate employment.
