Degree Employers are Satisfied
with the Graduates
Rutgers University is composed of 29 degree-granting
divisions and has approximately 48,000 students at its three
campuses. In academic year 1995-96, the university awarded nearly
10,000 baccalaureate and advanced degrees. Over the past 10 years,
Rutgers has awarded over 94,000 degrees. As of 1995, there were
approximately 200,000 graduates of the university located in
all fifty states, not counting those alumni dwelling in other
countries.
The university's academic programs are consistently
rated highly both formally, as evidenced by the 1989 invitation
to join the prestigious Association of American Universities,
and informally, as in such rankings as those issued by Money
Magazine and U.S. News and World Report.
The university's size and complexity have made
it difficult to track students and their employers in a systematic
fashion. For this reason, a systematic survey of employer satisfaction
with Rutgers graduates is not practical. Notwithstanding, existing
reports, while very positive, are specific to departments or
schools.
