6 Preface Graduate schools in the United States are environments in which students acquire the skills and knowledge needed to compete in the global economy as well as to solve problems of national and global scope. We remain strong in the U.S. because our graduate community has sustained a critical eye on how we do graduate education and on what we need to do to improve it. One area where we have begun to evaluate our own performance lies in the critical juncture between education and the U.S. workforce. While the United States is generally recognized as having the most vigorous and dynamic system of graduate education in the world, little is known at the granular level about what our graduates do, how their work life progresses, and how well the preparation they receive equips them for the careers they pursue. A report published in April 2012, Pathways Through Graduate School and Into Careers, 1 tackled these questions by examining the views of groups that directly observe and experience this transitional moment from degree completion and into careers students, universities, and employers. The distinct perspectives of these groups offer an unprecedented opportunity to better understand what these important stakeholders seek, where they find success, and where their needs and goals remain unmet. The current data report is one of a series of reports that provide the details behind the analysis presented in the Pathways study. This report provides information from the student perspective. It presents the student responses to the survey by field of study and by degree level. Earlier reports presented student responses at an aggregated level (total group, gender, and race/ethnicity). What s in the report Clear career options for students seeking, or holding graduate degrees are often lacking, especially at the doctoral level. This lack of knowledge may impact students decisions to attend graduate school as well as their views of career opportunities during graduate school and upon degree completion. In order to more fully understand what students know about career opportunities and when they learned it, a sample of students who took the GRE General Test between 2002 and 2011 were surveyed. The survey, administered online, reflects responses from over 5,500 students. Students accessed the survey through a provided link. There are two parts to this report. Only responses from students who indicated their field of study and degree level when they completed the survey are included. 1 Council of Graduate Schools and Educational Testing Service. (2012).

7 Part A provides responses from students who are either currently enrolled in graduate school or who have completed a graduate degree. It covers questions related to perceived value of graduate school, behavior prior to entering graduate school, and the graduate school experience. Part B provides responses to questions related to postgraduate school experiences, workplace skills importance and preparation, and job satisfaction. Only students who indicated they have completed their graduate degree and are working are included in this part. Results are provided by two degree levels (master s and doctorate) and 11 fields of study. Fields of study were captured using Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) codes 2 which were then further collapsed into 10 categories and one category. Note that these results do not distinguish among types of degrees (professional versus research) nor do they separate master s degrees that are terminal from those that are considered en route to the doctorate. Table 1 below provides the number of students responding to the survey by degree level and field of study.

CIP was originally developed by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Page 2
8 How to use the report This report provides information based only on the students who responded to the survey. While this data source does not capture all individuals who attended, or plan to attend, graduate school during this time period, it does provide access to a large number of students from a variety of demographic groups, fields of study, and institution types. Responses to the survey provide interesting student perspectives regarding career knowledge, but because it is based on a sample of convenience, the results may not accurately represent all graduate students. In addition, caution must be used when interpreting results based on relatively small sample sizes, especially as seen with the field of study categories. 3 The data tables for the survey questions indicate the number of students who responded in a particular manner to each question. Each survey question has two sets of data tables, one for students who have completed their master s degree and one for students who have completed their doctoral degree. Each table provides responses for the total group of students belonging to a particular category and responses by field of study. Students who did not respond to a question are not included in the corresponding table; therefore, the total number of students responding varies for each question. Only students who indicated they have completed a graduate degree and are working are included in this report. For questions that asked students to choose all that apply, the total percentage will not add up to 100%. For all other questions, percentages are based on the total number of students responding to the question, not the overall number of students. For these questions, the total percentage should be close to 100%, depending on rounding. 3 Results are not presented if the sample size for a group is less than 25 respondents. Page 3
