Career and Salary Survey

The Georgia Tech Career Survey is designed to capture students’ post-graduation plans, particularly with regard to employment and further education. The survey is administered to graduating students at the end of each semester. Data from the survey instrument is used to generate the Salary Report, which provides a summary of employment offers, acceptances, salary offers and signing bonuses presented by major, college, and degree level. It is important to note that the results presented are based on self-reported information. In some instances, reported salaries may vary considerably from year to year. Actual salaries can vary based on prior work experience, specific desired skills, job location, and other factors.

Exit Surveys

The Exit Surveys (i.e., undergraduate, masters, and PhD) are designed to capture students’ perceptions of their experiences at Georgia Tech. The surveys are divided into two sections.  Section one includes items that are common across all programs and section two program-specific items.  The surveys are administered to graduating students during their final year (i.e., between degree petition and graduation).  

The data is aggregated and reported on an annual basis.  Following are links to each of the surveys to include access to the aggregate data.

Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED)

The Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED) is a national survey administered to all individuals receiving a research doctorate from an accredited U.S. institution. The SED is sponsored by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) within the National Science Foundation (NSF) and by five other federal agencies: the National Institutes of Health, Department of Education, Department of Agriculture, National Endowment for the Humanities, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The SED collects information on the doctoral recipient’s educational history, demographic characteristics, and post-graduation plans. Results are used to assess characteristics of the doctoral population and trends in doctoral education and degrees.

Georgia Tech Doctoral students are asked to participate in the SED following completion of the Graduate Exit Survey – PhDs

  

The Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP) Freshman Survey (TFS)

The CIRP Freshman Survey is designed to collect data that provides a snapshot of incoming students background characteristics, high school experiences, attitudes, behaviors, and expectations for college. The survey is administered each year to incoming freshmen at participating institutions. Georgia Tech first-year students are asked to complete the CIRP survey at orientation.

Key areas of the survey examine:

 

National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)

The National Survey of Student Engagement collects information from undergraduate students about how they engage with the programs and activities the institution provides for their learning and personal development. Survey items represent empirically confirmed “good practices” in undergraduate education and is administered by the Center for Post-Secondary Research, at Indiana University. The NSSE is given to first year and seniors on a three-year cycle. 

 

Emergency Remote Teaching & Learning Survey for Students

This survey is meant to help us learn what works and what does not work well in the emergency remote educational experience. The purpose is for improvement rather than to evaluate performance. This survey was only administered in spring 2020 during COVID-19.

Note: Access to the Tableau tables below is only available to GT employees with FERPA clearance. To obtain FERPA clearance, please contact Mark Gravitt at mark.gravitt@registrar.gatech.edu for assistance.
