The Future Plans Survey of Graduating Seniors (FPS) and the Graduate Future Plans Survey (GFPS), administered every December and May, ask about the ‘future plans’ of graduating seniors and master’s and doctoral degree recipients. This includes detailed information on employment, graduate/professional school attendance, and participation in career-preparation activities while at NC State. Overall reports from each semester are available, as well as college comparisons.
The Survey of Recent Graduates (SRG) is administered every September as a follow-up survey to the FPS and GFPS. Graduates who did not complete the FPS, respondents who were still undecided about their plans, and summer graduates are all invited to participate. SRG results are combined with December and May results to create the full academic year reports.
