First destination after undergraduate degree
As told by new grads
What new VT grads do as first destination after the undergraduate degree
- First destination — employed, continuing education, or still seeking — of Virginia Tech graduates after the undergraduate degree.
- This information is sometimes called "outcomes." The wording "first destination" is used by NACE, the National Association of Colleges and Universities, which developed standards and protocols for colleges and universities for collection and reporting of graduating student career outcomes data.
The survey:
Only for new grads completing undergraduate degrees. Individual responses are confidential. The survey opens a month before commencement and closes six months after.
The report:
Anyone can view reports. For each grad year, see data for the university, colleges, and majors. Reports are compiled after the survey closes for the previous year's graduates.
Note for graduate students and those seeking data on graduate students: The Virginia Tech Graduate School conducts exit surveys with students completing master's and doctoral degrees.
