<p>Every year, right before graduation, Dartmouth asks graduating seniors to complete the Senior Survey. The survey provides valuable information such as what students intend to do after graduation, their satisfaction with various aspects of the College, and an estimate of what they believe they have gained from the college experience. The results are carefully examined by various groups on campus.</p>

<p>In even-numbered years we use the Senior Survey developed by the COFHE consortium.</p>

<p>In odd-numbered years we use the College Student Survey developed by the Higher Education Research Institute. This instrument is the companion instrument to the CIRP First-year survey, and thus gives us very good information on how students have changed over four years. A pdf file of the 2003 CSS is available.</p>

<p>here are the links:</p>

<p>In 2003, Dartmouth graduates had the following plans:</p>

<p>51% went to work
19% went to grad school
4% did volunteer work</p>

<p>Graduate and Professional School</p>

<p>The total proportion of graduates entering graduate school directly or intending to do so in one to five years increased by 17 percentage points from 2002 to 2003 (66% versus 83%). </p>

<p>That more students are entering graduate school directly this year than any of the previous four years partly explains this trend. </p>

<p>While 21% of graduates planned to do so in 2001 and 20% in 2002, fully one respondent in four (25%) reported entering graduate school directly in 2003. </p>

<p>Also relevant is the dramatic increase in students reporting that they plan to attend graduate school in 1-5 years.</p>

<p>While 47% of graduates indicated as such in 2002, more than half of respondents did so in 2003 (58%). </p>

<p>The 47% of respondents planning graduate school in 1-5 years in 2002 was a four-year low (52% in 2000, 51% in 2001). 13% undecided </p>

<p>The most popular degree pursued immediately for 2003 Dartmouth graduates is a master’s degree (4.5% of students). </p>

<p>Roughly equivalent proportions of students pursued doctoral and law degrees (3.2 and 3.1% of graduates, respectively). </p>

<p>Slightly more than 2% of students pursued medical degrees immediately after graduating, while less than one percent of students pursued other degrees (0.5%).</p>

<p>Approximately one percent of students pursued a BE degree mmediately following graduation from Dartmouth.</p>
