Executive Summary In its 2012 2025 strategic plan for the State University System (SUS), the Florida Board of Governors (BOG) has committed to providing the leadership to enable the SUS to take on an expanded role in responding to Florida s critical needs. For its part, Florida Atlantic University s (FAU) 2012 2017 strategic plan s statement of values also makes clear its commitment to prepare students to fulfill a productive destiny in the workplace an in society. While FAU collects data directly from students in their final year of study, there is additional data available from the Florida Education and Training Placement Information Program (FETPIP) on students and program participants who have graduated, exited or completed a public education or training program within the state. FETPIP data only include graduates with valid Social Security Numbers which excludes some graduates, e.g., international students. In addition, the outcomes of the included graduates are only reported for those alumni who find employment or continue their education within the state of Florida. Students who find work or pursue further postsecondary education in another state are treated the same as students who were unemployed and not in school. Therefore, assuming that out-of-state students are more likely to return to their home states, SUS institutions with larger out-of-state student populations will show lower student outcomes. Likewise, assuming that graduate degree earners, especially doctoral degree recipients, are less likely to pursue further education and more likely to seek employment outside Florida, the reported outcomes for graduate students are lower than for those awarded a baccalaureate degree. FETPIP data is available for academic years 2007 2009. For the three years under consideration, 85 87 % of students graduating from FAU with a bachelor degree either found employment within the state or chose to pursue further education within the state. Outcome rates within the state of Florida for students graduating with a Masters degree are lower for all SUS institutions than those for bachelor degree earners. This may be in part because fewer students pursue degrees after earning a Masters degree. Eightytwo percent of 2007 FAU Masters degree recipients were employed or in school, as were 85% of the 2008 and 84% of the 2009 graduates. Doctoral degree holders have earned the highest degree in their field which greatly reduces the likelihood that they will pursue further education, and many doctoral graduates seek positions in academia outside of Florida which makes the number of unreported outcomes much higher for doctoral degree recipients. However, given those constraints, with employment rates of 54%, 49%, and 47%, respectively for the 2007, 2008, and 2009 academic years, FAU exceeds the performance of most universities within the SUS. Continuing education rates are negligible (0 5%) for all universities with more than 50 doctoral graduates 2

per year. Among the institutions of the SUS, FAU has been among the best performers in terms of employment/continuing education outcomes.

FAU students are graduating with degrees that will serve workforce needs regionally, in Southeast Florida, and statewide. The fastgrowing occupations in Florida for which FAU undergraduates are earning degrees include civil engineering, accountancy, elementary school teaching, middle school teaching, and public relations specialists. Regionally, accountancy, management analysis, middle school teaching, and public relations are among the fastest growing occupations for which FAU students are earning undergraduate degrees. FAU graduates are poised to enter those occupations projected for future growth and satisfy the personnel needs of the state and region. 3

Introduction In its 2012 2025 strategic plan for the State University System (SUS), the Florida Board of Governors (BOG) has committed to providing the leadership to enable the SUS to take on an expanded role in responding to Florida s critical needs. 1 Part of the mission of the SUS is to support students development of the knowledge, skills, and aptitudes needed for success in the global society and marketplace. In keeping with the calls for accountability, the BOG has specified performance indicators to track the performance of SUS institutions in fulfilling various aspects of the strategic plan. One of those performance indicators is the percentage of baccalaureate graduates continuing their education or employed in Florida. For its part, Florida Atlantic University s (FAU) 2012 2017 strategic plan s statement of values also makes clear its commitment to prepare students to fulfill a productive destiny in the workplace an in society. 2 FAU recognizes its role in providing a welleducated and trained workforce for its six-county service area and the state. As such, part of the value of an FAU education is the ability of FAU students to find work and/or continue their education upon graduation. FAU tracks data concerning education outcomes by conducting university-wide surveys which are sent to all students who have applied for their degrees. The results of both surveys are available through the Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Analysis (IEA) (http://iea.fau.edu/reports/gss.aspx; http://iea.fau.edu/reports/gses.aspx). In addition, the Career Development Center at FAU also conducts a short survey at graduation which asks about students plans for the future. All of these surveys are used to collect data about student employment and continuing education outcomes, but they all rely self-reported data and are conducted before graduation when students future plans may not be known or finalized. Employment and Education Outcomes for Graduates of Florida State Universities for the 2007 2009 Academic Years The Florida Education and Training Placement Information Program (FETPIP) provides an additional source of post-graduation outcome data. FETPIP collects and reports data to provide information on students and program participants who have graduated, exited or completed a public education or training program with the state. The data is collected by matching student records from public education institutions and training programs to records kept by various public and independent organizations. Among the data provided by FETPIP are continuing education and employment outcomes for SUS graduates. FEPTIP has published data for the 2007 through 2009 academic year. 4

These records cover all SUS institutions other than the newest, Florida Polytechnic University. There are some limitations inherent in the FETPIP data. The reports only include graduates with valid Social Security Numbers which excludes some graduates, e.g., international students. Employment outcomes are calculated using the fourth quarter figures, i.e., employment data for the 2007-2008 graduates is based on those who were employed from October to December 2008. Graduates are counted as continuing their education if they are enrolled in a post-secondary education program during the fall or spring of the academic year following their graduation. In addition, the outcomes of the included graduates are only reported for those alumni who find employment or continue their education within the state of Florida. Students who find work or pursue further post-secondary education in another state are treated the same as students who were unemployed and not in school. Positive outcome rates are comprised of the percentage of students who are either employed or in school in Florida following graduation. Therefore, assuming that out-of-state students are more likely to return to their home states, SUS institutions with larger out-of-state student populations will show lower student outcomes. Likewise, assuming that graduate degree earners, especially doctoral degree recipients, are less likely to pursue further education and more likely to seek employment outside Florida, the reported outcomes for graduate students are lower than for those awarded a baccalaureate degree. Methodology This report analyzes the in-state employment and continuing education outcomes for FAU graduates from academic years 2007 through 2009, and the degree to which FAU graduates are filling some of the state s and region s most pressing personnel needs. The data regarding post-graduation employment and education were taken directly from FETPIP reports. The actual tables can be found in appendix A of this report. FAU s responsiveness to workforce needs was examined by comparing the occupations which will gain the most jobs by 2019 in the state and region to the related majors among FAU graduates from 2008 2012 academic years. The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity provides labor market information, including employment projections, on both a state-wide level and by workforce regions (http://www.floridajobs.org/labor-market-information/data-center/statisticalprograms/employment-projections). The state-level data can be found in appendix B of this report. Since FAU s service area crosses several workforce regions, the data for the occupations gaining the most jobs for FAU s service area was compiled by aggregating the data for the workforce regions 20 23 which cover, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, Miami-Dade, Monroe and Okeechobee counties. 5

The workforce occupational codes which are the same as the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Standard Occupation Codes (SOC) were then converted to Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) codes using a crosswalk published by the BLS (http://www.bls.gov/soc/soccrosswalks.htm). The conversion to CIP codes made it possible to match FAU majors from the Board of Governor s degree file to occupational codes in order to determine whether FAU graduates were earning degrees that would prepare them for the most pressing personnel needs, both within the state and in southeast Florida. Outcomes for FAU Baccalaureate Degree Recipients For the three years under consideration, 85 87 % of students graduating from FAU with a bachelor degree either found employment within the state or chose to pursue further education within the state. For graduates during the 2007-08 year, of the 4,324 graduates, 777, or 18%, continued their education and 2,998 (69%) were employed in the fourth quarter of 2008. In spite of the recession, the 4,332 FAU baccalaureate earners for the 2008-09 year were employed (66%) and went back to school (19%) at almost the same rate as the previous year. In 2009-2010, 87% of the undergraduates earning a degree were employed (70%) or in school (17%). Among the institutions of the SUS, FAU has been among the best performers in terms of employment/continuing education outcomes. FAU s positive outcome rate for baccalaureate degree holders has matched or exceeded University of Central Florida s (UCF) each year under consideration. FAU and Florida International University (FIU) had the same outcome rate for the 2007-08 and the 2009-10 years. FAU s performance over the three year period has been consistently high in comparison to other SUS institutions. 6

This may be in part because fewer students pursue degrees after earning a Masters. The 2007-08 graduating class had 10% of Masters degree earners continuing their education in Florida and 72% employed in the state. Of the 1,092 Masters degree recipients in 2008-09, 14% pursued additional education and 71% were employed in Florida. In 2009-10, 84% of FAU Masters degree awardees were either employed (74%) or in school (10%). FAU graduates with Masters degrees were employed in Florida at higher rates than their counterparts at University of South Florida (USF), UCF, and FIU for the three years for which data are available. For those same years, FAU continuing education rates were also higher than those at FIU. Among the SUS, FAU has been among the top three institutions in terms of positive outcome rates for each of the three years currently reported by FETPIP. 8

Discussion Despite U.S. Department of Labor estimates that by 2018 the majority of American jobs will require some post-secondary education, the Theil Foundation is offering promising students $100,000.00 fellowships to fund entrepreneurial ventures on the condition the students skip or drop out of college. 3 A 2011 study by the Pew Research Center found that a majority of Americans (57%) think that higher education in the United States fails to provide students with good value for the money spent even though 86 percent of the respondents felt that they personally benefited from their own investment in higher education. 4 The same study found that 47 percent of the public believes the main purpose of a college education is to teach work-related skills and knowledge. These issues are even more apparent in Florida, where a traditional reliance on tourism, new housing sales, and agriculture makes the state economy highly sensitive to drops in disposable income. As the state makes a transition to a knowledge-based economy, the role of higher education in providing a trained workforce has been emphasized. News reports detailing the high student loan debts and low employment prospects encountered by recent college graduates during the economic downturn has led some to call into question the value of higher education. These doubts are contrary to the well-publicized trend of a growing deficit in educated workers. In fact, although unemployment has risen in the recent economic downturn, these events have served to demonstrate part of the value of a baccalaureate degree. A report of the Governor s Blue Ribbon Task Force on Higher Education Reform indicated that while Florida had an overall unemployment rate approaching 10 percent, the rate for those with a bachelor s degree was cut in half. 5 Outcome data demonstrate clearly the benefits of higher education and the role FAU has in producing those benefits. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
