Graduate Outcomes Survey Data
Survey Information
The UWM Career Planning & Resource Center (CPaRC) conducts a survey of all recent graduates each December and May to assess their post-graduation plans.
➤What did UWM graduates do: What types of experiences did they have during their education?
➤What are UWM graduates doing: Are they working, continuing their education, or volunteering?
Survey Results
Note: The survey is open for six months; however, the majority of responses are captured within two weeks before graduation to two weeks after graduation. Due to a lack of resources, follow-up for direct information at the six months post-graduation point is not completed, therefore, “still looking” rates are inflated.
