Welcome to the University Planning and Analysis Survey Page

Almost 3,000 NC State alumni who graduated between Summer 2006 and May 2009 participated in our triennial survey of baccalaureate alumni! The Alumni Survey provides detailed information about the employment and further education of our graduates, their current assessment of the importance of a wide range of educational goals related to professional and personal development and how well NC State met those goals, the long-term impact of international experiences they had as a student, and a host of other topics. Look for results from the 2012 Alumni Survey to added to reports on results from previous years' surveys online early this summer. Email for more information.
