The College’s Office of Institutional Research recently conducted a survey of last year’s grads (May 2012) that showed that 94% of the respondents are either employed or engaged in further education. And that’s just part of the impressive news:

• Among those who are employed, about three-fourths report that their current position is related to their studies at Keene State College, and 85% of these indicated that Keene State had prepared them “well” or “very well” for their employment.
• About one in five respondents is engaged in further study, mostly pursuing master’s degrees.
• Among those who are engaged in further education, 95% reported that their current studies are related to their studies at Keene State College, and 87% judged that Keene State had prepared them “well” or “very well” for this next step in their education.

Of the graduates surveyed, 46 percent still reside in New Hampshire.

“This survey demonstrates that Keene State College is a major contributor to the success of graduates entering the workforce or gaining post-graduate education. An investment in public higher education is also an investment in our state’s workforce and economic development,” said Jay Kahn, Keene State College Interim President.
