Employment Follow-Up of Undergraduate Rehabilitation Majors
Chapin, Martha H.
College Student Journal, v38 n2 p273 Jun 2004
This study was designed to explore employment opportunities, salary potential, and knowledge required by graduates of a Bachelor of Science in Rehabilitation Services degree. A survey was mailed to graduates of the program addressing these questions. The response rate was 41%. Of the respondents, 96.7% were currently employed, many within 1.5 months of graduation. Forty-three percent were currently in positions related to their degree, although 60% had used their degree since graduation. Salaries at graduation ranged from $21,481 to $24,480 with current salaries from $26,881 to $29,880. The Rehabilitation Services curriculum provides a good foundation for entry-level human service employment and for graduate education in human services and allied health.
