Undergraduate Student Post-Graduation Outcomes
Sweet Briar surveys its alumnae at three points to get a sense of their post-graduation activities: at time of graduation, six months following graduation, and two years following graduation. The following are outcomes reports generated by the Office of Institutional Research in partnership with the Office of Career Services.
The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)
The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) is an annual survey sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and is recognized as one of the most reliable assessments of effective practices in higher education. The survey asks student respondents (first-years and seniors) to reflect on the time they devote to various educational and co-curricular activities that have been shown to be linked to learning, personal development, and other desired outcomes such as satisfaction, persistence, and college completion.
Sweet Briar students have been active participants in NSSE since the first survey in 2001. Please click here to be taken to Sweet Briar's NSSE page.
