Report of Follow-Up of Graduates of 1985.
Lester, Jeanette
A survey of 1985 graduates of St. Mary's College (SMC) was conducted to determine current position, salary by type of position and major, graduate school attendance, job satisfaction, and views on their experience at SMC. Some data were obtained on 68% of the 1985 graduates. Graduate/professional school attendance (full-time) was reported by 15.3% of graduates, while another 5% were attending graduate school part-time. About 78% of the graduates were employed in 1985-1986 and another 2% were involved in volunteer work. Only 2% were unemployed and looking for work, but 5% had part-time employment only and were seeking full-time jobs. Employment offers differed for graduates with different majors. About three-quarters of those pursuing advanced studies were in professional programs, especially law and business administration. Forty-four percent of graduates not pursuing additional studies were employed in professional positions, 8% were in technical/semi-professional positions, 24% were in managerial administration positions, and 11% were in nonretail sales/marketing positions. Graduates gave their views on the relationship between their positions and their majors, and the value of a degree to obtaining employment. Student comments about the atmosphere at SMC and their recommendations are appended. Numerous tables are included. (SW)
