Amidst the worst economic downturn in decades, nearly 60 percent of recent graduates of the Connecticut State University System (CSUS) report that they have obtained either a new, higher level or higher paying job, and 90 percent of graduates report being employed, either full-time or part-time, after graduation.
In addition, among students who decide to pursue a graduate degree, the percentage doing so within the Connecticut State University System has increased for the third consecutive year. Two years ago, 53 percent of CSUS graduates seeking an advanced degree remained within the system, attending Central, Eastern, Southern or Western Connecticut State Universities. Last year that percentage climbed to 60 percent. The most recent survey - of graduates of the class of 2009 - saw the percentage increase again, to 71 percent.
Overall, one in four graduates report pursuing an advanced degree on a full-time or part-time basis (beginning within six months of obtaining their undergraduate degree), a figure that has remained relatively constant in recent years.
Officials note that as student satisfaction with the undergraduate education they receive at one of the four CSUS universities remains strong, an increasing percentage of those who choose to pursue a graduate degree are doing so at one of the CSUS institutions.
The survey found that 94 percent of recent graduates are satisfied – or very satisfied – with their university experience, and 93 percent would recommend the university they attended to a potential student. In addition, nearly nine in ten graduates are satisfied or very satisfied with their educational preparation for their current job.
“These statistics are great news for Connecticut. Students recognize that the universities are providing a great education and great value, and they are staying in our state either in the workforce or to pursue an advanced degree, enhancing our economic and civic vitality,” said CSUS Chancellor David G. Carter.
Carter noted that 93 percent of CSUS students are from Connecticut, and nearly nine in ten CSUS graduates (86 percent) stay in Connecticut, which is especially important at a time when many recent high school and college graduates have been leaving Connecticut.
The survey found that 56 percent report that since completing their degree, they have acquired a job that is either new, higher paying, or at a higher level. The percentage of those employed full-time, versus part-time, has declined slightly, from 71 to 64 percent.
CSUS is the state’s largest university system, with more than 36,500 students, including a record number of full-time graduate and undergraduate students, and 180,000 alumni. Central, Eastern, Southern and Western provide affordable, accessible, high-quality programs in more than 160 subject areas, with extensive opportunities for internships, community service and civic involvement.Read Full Article
