HMHEC will supply e-mail and/or written addresses for the approximately 600 graduates. The proposed study must address two objectives: 1) Measure degree program satisfaction and personal/professional impact on students while they were in school and 2) Measure personal/professional impact of degree completion on graduates after graduation.
Expected data to be collected should include: 1) demographics of graduates; 2) income/employment changes attributable to earning a degree; 3) factors influencing the return to school decision; 4) impressions of the completed degree program; 5) personal costs (time/money) versus value/benefit of earning a degree; and 6) impact of graduation on employment and county/region.
