This study investigated the relationship between college characteristics of bachelor's degree holders, such as academic programs and types of institutions and their post-graduate social benefit behavior. While a myriad of studies have examined the monetary benefits from attaining a college education, little is known about effects of collegiate experiences associated with nonmonetary returns conferred by a higher education. A sample of 2,463 drawn from a national database was used in this study. After controlling for pre-college volunteer behavior and other demographic characteristics, students who majored in education and those who graduated from baccalaureate institutions presented significant gains in social benefits. Appended are: (1) Detailed NELS:88/2000 Items for Pre-College Engagement Variable; and (2) Detailed NELS:88/2000 Items for Outcome Variable. (Contains 4 tables.)
