Career Outcomes Data Collection Information
The Mercer University Center for Career and Professional Development administers the Graduate Career Outcomes Survey to degree completers each semester. The Graduate Career Outcomes survey consists of a set of questions developed by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (*NACE) along with a set of Mercer University-specific questions. The survey questions collect detailed information about the graduate’s post-graduation career plans, career field experience engagement, resource utilization, and career decision-making process. The data reported in this survey represents a graduate’s career outcome within the first 6 months after graduation.
The results represent the population of graduates for whom Mercer has reasonable and verifiable information concerning their post-graduation career activities, either from responses to the Graduate Career Outcomes Survey or from other sources, such as faculty or staff, direct contact with graduates, or web and database searches. The targeted population included graduates from all baccalaureate, graduate, and professional programs, except those from the School of Law. See the School of Law Website for more information on their Employment Statistics.
