Oklahoma State University

2004 Undergraduate Program Alumni Survey

May 2004

Report prepared by the Office of University Assessment and Testing

210 PIO Building

(405) 744-6687

Executive Summary

The 2004 OSU Survey of Alumni of Undergraduate Programs was conducted to identify institutional

strengths and areas for improvement as indicated by recent graduates; to track the career and continuing education

trends of recent graduates; to assess achievement of learning outcomes as perceived by alumni from individual

academic programs, and to accomplish the State Regent's mandate for assessing student and alumni satisfaction.

The survey was conducted in February and March 2004 and targeted alumni of undergraduate programs who

graduated in calendar years 1998 and 2002. The survey was administered as a telephone interview and included

Common Questions (related to employment and continuing education) and questions related to program outcomes

for each degree program.

ƒ

Response Rate.

A total of 2,520 telephone interviews with alumni were completed, resulting in a response

rate of 42.9%. When adjusted for alumni for whom a telephone number could not be determined and

alumni who could not be reached in the U.S., the response rate to the survey was 74.3%.

ƒ

Residency.

An estimated 67.9% of the alumni who participated in the survey were living in Oklahoma, and

32.1% were contacted out-of-state. Because the survey did not attempt to reach alumni who were not in

the U.S., the number of alumni who no longer live in Oklahoma may be underestimated.

ƒ

Employment.

Over 85% of alumni reported that they were employed. Most alumni reported working for

large corporations (33.2%) or small corporations or businesses (26.5%). Almost 20% were employed by

educational institutions, and 10.2% were employed by government agencies. Alumni most frequently

reported that their annual salary was in the range of $26,000-35,000 per year (27.7%). Over 93% of

employed alumni reported that their OSU education had prepared them very well or adequately for their

current position.

ƒ

Continuing Education.

Over 28% of alumni had completed or were currently enrolled in graduate programs

or professional schools. Almost 52% of these were enrolled or had attended OSU graduate programs.

Over 63% were pursuing or had completed masters degrees, 11.7% were pursuing or had completed

business degrees, 8.1% were pursuing or had completed law degrees, 6.4% were pursuing or had

completed medical degrees, and 6.1% were pursuing or had completed a doctoral degree. Almost 94% of

alumni that went on to graduate or professional school stated that their OSU education had prepared them

very well or adequately for their continued education.

Introduction

In a comprehensive assessment effort, many voices must be heard in order to gain a thorough

understanding of the effectiveness of the curricula. Because the focus of assessment is on helping improve the

preparation of graduates, one approach to addressing questions about preparation for the workplace is to ask

graduates themselves (Banta and Palomba 1999). Alumni provide a logical source of evaluative feedback and a

unique perspective on the application of curricula in practice.

Information from alumni also plays an important role in the process of academic assessment. Higher

education in the United States has been undergoing critical scrutiny whereby parents, students, and government

leaders alike are increasingly calling into question the value of a college degree. This scrutiny is fueled by the

well-documented escalation of the costs of college attendance over the past two decades and concerns about the

employment prospects and even the employability of college graduates (McGuire and Casey 1999). Against this

backdrop, the pressure on colleges and universities to maximize and demonstrate effectiveness is at an all-time

high. Because a college education is a lifelong investment with presumed dividends accruing for many years after

graduation, it is logical to seek out answers to the public’s legitimate concerns through alumni surveys. Data from

alumni surveys can be a valuable part of assessment efforts aimed at providing public accountability as well as

evaluative information that can be used for program improvement.

The Oklahoma State University Undergraduate Program Alumni Survey that was conducted in February

and March 2004 sought, among other things, to identify the extent to which recent undergraduate program alumni

were satisfied that they had received quality training in professional skills and abilities at OSU (Stillwater). The

survey provided data to (1) identify institutional strengths and areas for improvement as indicated by recent

graduates; (2) track the career trends of recent OSU undergraduate program alumni; (3) provide outcomes

assessment data to individual academic programs, and (4) accomplish the State Regent's mandate for assessing

student and alumni satisfaction.

Methods

Population.

The target population for this survey was OSU undergraduate degree recipients who

graduated in

1998

and

2002

. Alumni response rates for individual programs are listed in Table 1. This included all

departments in the Colleges of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources; Arts and Sciences; Business

Administration; Engineering, Architecture, and Technology; Education; and Human Environmental Sciences.

The total number of alumni in the target population was 5,875, which represented 99.3% of the total

number of undergraduate degrees granted in 1998 and 2002. The survey was conducted in February and March

2004; therefore, alumni were contacted approximately one and five years after graduating from OSU.

Instrument Design.

The Assessment Council and the individual academic departments that participated in

the survey developed the survey instrument. The first part of the survey, called the Common Questions, was given

to all alumni. It included questions on current employment, continuing education, and overall satisfaction. The

second part of the survey was developed by each participating academic unit and was only given to alumni of that

unit. This part of the survey focused on specific aspects of the alumnus’ degree program.

Survey Administration.

The survey was administered as a telephone interview. The OSU Bureau for

Social Research conducted the survey telephone interviews in February and March 2004 and coordinated data

collection. The Office of Institutional Research, the OSU Foundation, and individual academic departments

provided alumni telephone numbers. The Office of University Assessment and Testing coordinated the

development of the survey instruments, efforts to obtain accurate alumni telephone numbers, data analysis, and

report preparation.

Results

Response Rate.

A total of 2,520 alumni telephone interviews were completed, resulting in an overall

response rate of 42.9% (Table 1). Out of the initial target population of 5,875 alumni, 2,485 alumni could not be

reached because either there was no phone number available or the number was deemed ‘unreachable’ (e.g.,

wrong number, disconnected). After accounting for ‘unreachable’ alumni, the overall adjusted response rate was

74.3% (Table 1).

Out of the total population of survey respondents, 25.7% were alumni from the College of Arts & Sciences,

23.8% were alumni from the College of Business Administration, 15.2% were alumni from the College of

Engineering, Architecture and Technology, 14.9% were alumni from the College of Agricultural Sciences and

Natural Resources, 11.3% were from the College of Education, and 9.1% were alumni from the College of Human

Environmental Sciences.

Current Employment Information.

Over 85% of alumni (n =2,153) reported that they were employed (Q1).

Of these, 90.6% were employed full-time (Q4). Approximately 33.2% of alumni described their employer as large

corporations and 26.5% were employed by small corporations or small businesses; 19.9% were employed by

educational institutions; 10.2% were employed by government agencies; 5.4% were employed by nonprofit

organizations and 4.6% were self-employed (Q3). Table 2 summarizes the names of alumni employers and job

titles. The most frequently reported annual salary range for alumni one and five years post-graduation was

$26,000-$35,000 per year (27.7%). Almost 50% of alumni reported annual salaries of greater than $35,000 per

year, and 15.4% of alumni reported annual salaries of less than $26,000 per year (Q7). In general, 93.3% of alumni

(n = 1690) responded that their undergraduate program prepared them very well or adequately for their current

position (Q6). Only respondents who reported that their current position was slightly, moderately, or highly related

to their degree program were included in this calculation.

Graduate/Professional School Information.

Of the alumni surveyed, 716 (28.4%) had completed or were

currently enrolled in a graduate or professional school. Of these alumni, 63.5% were pursuing or had completed a

masters degree, 11.7% were pursuing or had completed business degrees, 8.1% were pursuing or had completed

law degrees, 6.4% were attending or had attended medical schools, 6.1% were pursuing or had completed doctoral

degrees, and 1.7% were pursuing or had completed ‘other’ degrees (Q9). Of the 716 alumni who were attending or

had completed graduate school, almost 52% (n=370) attended Oklahoma State University, and 22.9% attended

graduate school at other Oklahoma institutions. Most alumni (93.9%) stated that their OSU undergraduate program

had prepared them very well or adequately for graduate or professional school programs (Q10). Table 3

summarizes the names of graduate and professional schools as given by alumni.

Resident Information (In-State / out-of-State).

Approximately 67.9% of the alumni who participated in the

survey were living in Oklahoma and 32.1% were out-of-state (Table 4). Because the survey did not attempt to

reach alumni who were not in the U.S., the alumni who live outside of Oklahoma may be under-represented.

This report summarizes data from the Common Questions that were given to all alumni. Alumni were also

given a set of questions that were developed by the academic program from which they received their degree.

Results of program-specific survey questions are summarized in separate reports prepared for each participating
