Career Plans Survey

The Career Plans Survey collects career plans information for recent George Mason graduates. All undergraduate and graduate students were provided with the link to the Career Plans Survey at the time of graduation, and the survey remained opened for six months following graduation. For graduates who did not take the survey, career plans information was supplemented with Alumni Pathways (e.g., data from LinkedIn profiles) and the National Student Clearinghouse.
