Hunziker, Celeste M.
Postgraduate education, employment, and attitudes of 1973 and 1983 graduates of the University of California, Davis, (UC Davis) were surveyed in 1984. Responses were received from 60% of 1983 bachelor's degree recipients and 48% of 1973 graduates. Findings include: one-third of baccalaureate degree holders enrolled immediately in a postgraduate degree or credential program, and additional 30% entered graduate school within 11 years of graduation; between one-quarter (1983) to one-third (1973) of graduates chose UC Davis for their first professional program; over three-quarters of 1983 alumni who enrolled in graduate programs rated their undergraduate preparation as very good or more than adequate; about 58% of 1983 degree recipients accepted full-time jobs after graduation; nine out of 10 1983 respondents employed full-time reported that their undergraduate education prepared them adequately to very well for their current occupations; recent alumni reported high levels of interaction with faculty during their undergraduate years; and over 80% of 1983 respondents reported being satisfied or very satisfied with their undergraduate experience at UC Davis.
