Alumni Surveys

Recent Graduates Survey (RGS)

Recent graduates of UMass Dartmouth are asked to complete a brief survey following their graduation from the university. In accordance with the reporting conventions of various higher education survey groups, such as U.S. News & World Report and Peterson's, the survey is administered six months after graduation for undergraduate degree earners and three months after graduation for graduate degree earners*. Students are asked to provide updated information on their activities following graduation (e.g., employment and further study).

*This data collection schedule was implemented in academic year (AY) 2012-2013. Data for periods prior to AY 2012-2013 do not follow this collection procedure.
