n = 830

Each year Career, Internship & Student Employment Services at Montana State University conducts a survey to determine placement rates and salary survey information from recent MSU graduates (Summer 2016, Fall 2016, and Spring 2017). Graduates were requested to participate in the survey to provide relevant information regarding the transition from college to career/graduate school. The contents of this document reflect the information gleaned from that effort, demonstrating “life after university“ with regard to employment, graduate school, salary, location, etc.

There were 2,860 graduates and 1,190 respondents (41.6% response rate). • 78.1% (n=921) indicated they were employed full-time. • 11.6% (n=137) indicated they were employed part-time. • 5.2% (n=62) indicated they were not employed and not seeking employment. • 5.2% (n=61) indicated they were not employed, but seeking employment.
