College Graduates College Outcomes Assessment Educational Experience Graduate Surveys Higher Education Institutional Evaluation Private Colleges Satisfaction School Effectiveness Small Colleges Student Attitudes Student Personnel Services This paper reports on a 1992 follow-up survey of graduates of Virginia Wesleyan College (VWC). The target population of 1,110 graduates from the classes of 1987 through 1992 were surveyed, and 576 responded (51.9 percent). The survey sought information on demographics, enrollment history, evaluation of cognitive and affective outcomes, overall reactions to college experience, evaluation of educational and support services, continued education, and employment history after graduation. Responding graduates indicated that they were generally satisfied with their educational experiences and with the programs and services provided by the college. Graduates reported that the school fostered personal growth in cognitive and affective areas and that their VWC experiences had adequately prepared them for continued educational pursuits and/or employment. Areas of concern that emerged from the survey included students' experiences in student activities and their preparation in computers, responsibilities of citizenship, application of scientific principles and methods, and applied mathematics. Various college services such as registration process, library services, and cost of attending, also received less favorable evaluations from the graduates. Includes nine tables. (JB) |
