EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ■
1,736 UND undergraduate alumni who graduated in December 2007, May 2008, and August 2008 were mailed a questionnaire seeking demographic and employment information. A total of 624 alumni participated in the survey. After adjusting for bad addresses, an adjusted response rate of 38% was attained.
■
95% of respondents indicated being either employed or currently a student. While 95% is relatively high, this is the lowest percentage record in 10+ years that this survey has been administered.
■
89% of respondents indicated that their current position is “directly related” or “somewhat related” to the education they received at UND.
■
Respondents reported residing in 49 states. 68% of respondents are currently residing in North Dakota (40%) or Minnesota (28%). Overall, North Dakota retained 173 (60%) of the 288 respondents who graduated from a ND high school. This is the highest percentage reported by this survey; the past five years are as follows: 2009=48%, 2008=53%, 2007=53%, 2006=52%, 2005=51%.
■
172 (28%) respondents are pursuing additional education, of which 64 (37%) are at UND. Last year, a total of 158 (23%) of the respondents reported pursuing additional education and 50 (32%) studied at UND.
■
Females (n=117) pursue an additional degree at more than twice the rate as males (n=55) do. At UND, 70% of the re-enrollees are females (n=45) compared to 30% males (n=19).
■
64% (last year=59%) of the respondents believe there are job opportunities for them in their area of interest in North Dakota. 47% (last year=41%) of respondents indicated that if a job were available in their area of interest they would want employment in North Dakota.
■
Respondents indicating “yes” they would want North Dakota employment frequently cited the following reasons: close to family, like the community or state, job opportunities and cost of living.
■
Respondents indicating “no” or “unsure” they would want North Dakota employment frequently cited the following as their reasons: climate, proximity to family, preference for another state/metropolitan area, and limited job opportunities.
■
The reported average annual salary was $40,793 in which UND female graduates report average annual earnings of 92% of their male counterparts.
■
57% of respondents reported that they used the services of, or attended events sponsored by, UND Career Services/Coop Ed while at UND (last year=53%). The students who used these services reported a higher rate of relationship (directly related or somewhat related) of their current position to their UND education.
■
46% of the respondents indicated that they participated in an internship or cooperative education program while attending UND. The participants of these programs also reported an average salary $3,327 higher than those who did not participate in such programs (last year’s difference was $2,393).

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA 2009-2010 PLACEMENT SURVEY
A. INTRODUCTION The UND Placement Survey was developed in 1997 through the partnership of Career Services and Institutional Research for the purpose of collecting demographic and employment information on recent University of North Dakota graduates. Over the years the use of this information has expanded and is now being used for university assessment purposes, provided to academic colleges, various offices and service areas across campus, and used for a number of internal and external questions regarding job placement and salary data. The 2009-2010 survey (Appendix 1) was conducted using the traditional paper-and-pencil method. The UND Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved this study (IRB-200908-020).
B. METHODOLOGY The UND Alumni Foundation provided mailing labels containing graduates who earned a Bachelor’s degree from UND in December 2007, May 2008, or August 2008. An invitation letter and questionnaire were mailed to the above described 1,736 undergraduate alumni by the Office of Institutional Research on October 1, 2009. Four follow-up mailings were sent to non-respondents to promote participation and to make the results as representative as possible. In early February 2010 the survey was closed.
C. RESPONSE RATE Of the 1,736 survey packages mailed, 115 came back with no forwarding addresses. A total of 624 valid placement surveys were returned. After adjusting for the undeliverables, the survey yielded a response rate of 38%.
D. DATA ANALYSIS Two methods of statistical analysis were used in this descriptive study. Means and frequencies were calculated to examine differences between comparison items as well as over time (see tables in Appendixes 2-4) and content analysis was performed to identify themes from the alumni’s comments (Appendix 5).
E. SELECTED RESULTS 1. Demographic Information Of the 624 respondents, 177 (28%) graduated in December 2007, 346 (55%) graduated in May 2008, 70 (11%) graduated in August 2008, and the remaining 31 (5%) respondents either did not respond or supplied a later date. The majority of the respondents are female (n=335 or 54%) compared with 289 (46%) male respondents (Table 1). Of the 624 respondents, 206 (33%) are from Arts and Sciences, 112
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2009-2010 Placement Survey Page 5 Office of Institutional Research, University of North Dakota April 20, 2010
(18%) are from Business and Public Administration, 86 (14%) are from Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences, 75 (12%) are from Education and Human Development, 67 (11%) are from Engineering and Mines, 54 (9%) are from Nursing, and 24 (4%) are from Medicine and Health Sciences (Table 1). A total of 288 respondents (46%) graduated from high schools in North Dakota, 197 (32%) graduated from high schools in Minnesota, 129 (21%) graduated from U.S. high schools outside of North Dakota and Minnesota, 9 (1%) respondents graduated from another country, and 1 respondent did not report where their high school was located (Table 5). 2. Employment Information When asked to indicate employment status, 479 (77%) respondents reported being employed, 28 (5%) unemployed and 113 (18%) reported being a current student (Table 2). Last year it was reported that 568 (82%) respondents were employed, 19 (3%) unemployed, and 104 (15%) a student. Overall for the current survey, 592 (95%) of the respondents indicated being either employed or currently a student. While 95% is relatively high, this is the lowest percentage recorded in the ten-plus years that this survey has been administered (Table 17). The colleges with percentage rates below the mean are Arts and Sciences (93.2% employed or student), Engineering and Mines (94.0% employed or student) and Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences (94.1% employed or student). Up until last year, Engineering and Mines’ students had been reporting one of the highest employment or enrollment rates for nearly the entire decade. Table 24 is a new table that reports employment rates by (primary) major. Forty-one of the 83 major fields produced 100% employment and of those, 27 major fields produced 100% of their students employed in an in-field or related career path. 3. Pursuing Additional Education The survey asked “Whether you are employed or not, are you currently a student?” One hundred seventy-two respondents (28%) are pursuing additional education; 140 as full-time students and 32 as part-time students (Table 3). Of the 172 of respondents, 64 (37%) are studying at UND. Another 10 students are pursuing a degree at one of the University of Minnesota institutions followed by 5 students indicating enrollment at North Dakota State University. Last year, a total of 158 (23%) of the respondents reported pursuing additional education and 50 (32%) studied at UND. Table 3 also lists advanced education by gender. Females (n=117) pursue an additional degree at more than twice the rate as males (n=55). At UND, 70% of the re-enrollees are females (n=45) compared to 30% males (n=19). Table 4 lists the degrees that the respondents report pursuing. Of the 156 respondents, 15 (10%) are pursuing a degree less than a Master’s degree, 88 (56%) are pursuing a Master’s degree and 53 (34%) are pursuing a Doctorate/professional degree. Table 4a reports this information for the last four years and shows that this is a year that more students are pursuing another degree.
4. Place of Residence Recent UND graduates are residing across the country (Table 6). Respondents reported residing in 49 states, the U.S. territory of Guam (n=1), and countries of Hong Kong (n=1), Ireland (n=1), Japan (n=1), Malawi (n=1) and Morocco (n=1). A total of 249 (40%) graduates are residing in North Dakota and 174 (28%) graduates reside in Minnesota.

Tables 7a and 7b present current residence of respondents by academic college. Reported from Table 7b, of the 624 respondents, 249 (40%) are currently living in North Dakota, 174 (28%) reside in Minnesota, and 201 (32%) reside in other states/countries. Looking at the North Dakota residency distribution by college, 52% of the 54 nursing student respondents reside in state which is up from the 38% reported in North Dakota last year. In fact, counting the College of Nursing students, five of the seven colleges are seen with the largest percentage of their graduating students still residing in North Dakota (A&S=43%, BPA=44%, EHD=48%, SMHS=42%); the two colleges with fewer North Dakota residents are Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences (23%) and Engineering and Mines (25%). Last year, only two colleges had more North Dakota graduates residing in-state: Education and Human Development (44%) and Nursing (38%). 5. North Dakota Retention Information With so many more graduates currently residing in North Dakota, it is no surprise that North Dakota is seeing the highest rate of retention to date (of 13 survey administrations, see Table 22). While only 48% of the UND respondents (who graduated from high school in North Dakota) stayed in North Dakota last year, 60% were retained this year (Table 8). A similar trend, although not nearly the high percentage rates as reported for North Dakota, is seen with prior Minnesota residents (students graduating from Minnesota high schools). That is, North Dakota is seeing the highest rate of retention to date of Minnesotans choosing to stay in North Dakota (Table 23) with 21% of the respondents indicating their current residency in North Dakota. In addition, 25% of the UND graduates (34 of 138 respondents) who graduated from a U.S. high school outside of North Dakota or Minnesota are currently residing in North Dakota. This is up from the 14% (21 of 153 respondents) reported last year. In summary, of the 249 UND graduates currently residing in North Dakota, 173 (70%) graduated from high school in North Dakota, 42 (17%) graduated from high school in Minnesota, and 34 (14%) graduated from high schools from states (or country) outside of North Dakota and Minnesota. 6. North Dakota Employment Information In response to the question, “Do you believe there are job opportunities for you in your area of interest in North Dakota,” 400 (64%) respondents indicated “yes”, 113 (18%) indicated “no”, 104 (17%) indicated “not sure”, and 6 (1%) did not respond (Table 9). Again, the affirmative response is higher than last year when 59% of the respondents indicated “yes” for North Dakota job opportunities and 24% responded “no”. Respondents who graduated from North Dakota high schools are more likely to believe the existence of the job opportunities (73%) in their area of interest in North Dakota than their counterparts who graduated from high schools in Minnesota (66%), and other states (43%). Last year, 64% of the North Dakota graduates responded “yes” compared to 57% of Minnesotans and 50% of students in other states. When asked, “If a job were available in your area of interest, would you want employment in North Dakota?” (Table 10). A total of 292 (47%) respondents indicated “yes” (last year=41%) and 193 (31%) indicated “no” (last year=37%). Those who responded “not sure” fell into the same percentage as last year at 22%. Again, respondents who graduated from North Dakota high schools (64%) are more likely to want to accept employment in their area of interest in North Dakota than their counterparts who graduated from high schools in Minnesota (37%), and other states (25%). The most significant change from last year was with the number of graduates who are from Minnesota. Last year, only 25% of _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2009-2010 Placement Survey Page 7 Office of Institutional Research, University of North Dakota April 20, 2010
Minnesotans expressed interest in possible employment in North Dakota compared to the more recent 37%. The larger gap wasn’t seen with the North Dakota group as 61% reported last year their interest in North Dakota employment. Respondents were also asked to explain the reasons they would or would not want employment in North Dakota. A content analysis was performed to identify themes from their comments (Appendix 5); 401 of the 624 respondents (64%) entered their comments. Respondents indicating “yes” they would want employment in North Dakota frequently cited the following reasons: close to family, like the community or state, job opportunities, good place to raise a family, and cost of living. Respondents indicating “no” they would not want employment in North Dakota frequently cited the following reasons: climate, proximity to family, preference for another state, preference for living in a metropolitan area. Fewer than in the past cited reasons such as limited career advancement opportunities or low salaries as a reason for not preferring North Dakota. Respondents indicating “not sure” if they would want employment in North Dakota frequently cited the following reasons: limited job opportunities, preference for another location or larger metropolitan area, and proximity to family. 7. Employer and Annual Salary Information In the final section of the survey, the question “Who is your current employer?” was stated as “optional” with the expectation that not all respondents would report the name of their employer. Of the 624 respondents, 519 (83%) reported the name of employers with 11 respondents reporting being selfemployed. Information about the 519 employer names (Appendix 6) can be requested by contacting the UND Career Services Office. Another survey question, “What is your current annual salary?” was also stated as “optional” with the expectation that not all respondents would feel comfortable indicating their salary. Of the 624 respondents, 445 (71%) provided their salary information. After excluding the salaries of respondents who identified themselves as students, 416 (67%) salaries were used for calculating various averages. The reported annual salaries range from $9,900 to $160,000. The average annual salary reported was $40,793 (Table 11), up slightly from the $39,135 reported last year. Average annual reported salary was $42,413 for males, which is higher than the $39,173 reported for females. Overall, UND female graduates on average earn 92% of the annual salary of UND male graduates. This is higher than the 87% ratio reported last year but lower than the 97% ratio two years prior. Males averaged higher salaries than females in six of the seven colleges. The only college with women reporting a higher salary than men was in Education and Human Development (F = 102% of M). The six colleges where men reported the higher average salaries were in: Arts and Sciences (F = 94% of M), Business and Public Administration (F = 94% of M), Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences (F = 95% of M), Nursing (F = 77% of M), Engineering and Mines (F = 95% of M), and Medicine and Health Sciences (F = 87% of M). Disparities in salary based on the geographic locations among respondents were also observed (Table 12). The average annual salary is $35,532 for those currently residing in North Dakota ($35,518 last year), $42,665 for those residing in Minnesota ($39,576 last year) and $45,264 for those residing outside of North Dakota or Minnesota ($41,439 last year). When comparing average salary by college, the highest average annual salary of $62,306 was reported by the Engineering and Mines respondents. The Engineering students residing outside of North Dakota and Minnesota reported the overall highest
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2009-2010 Placement Survey Page 8 Office of Institutional Research, University of North Dakota April 20, 2010
average salary at $70,000. By comparison, the lowest average annual salary ($23,033) was reported by respondents graduating from Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences who currently reside in North Dakota, followed by graduates from Education and Human Development who currently reside in Minnesota who reported their average salary of $29,246. Salary data is also presented by degree major in Table 25. 411 non-student respondents reported their degree major as well as their salary. The largest differences between low and high salaries within the degree major categories are found with mechanical engineering (low=$48,000 to high=$145,000), marketing (low=$24,900 to high=$112,000), general studies (low=$11,000 to high=$98,000), management (low=$24,000 to high=$100,000), and communication (low=$29,995 to high=$90,000). 8. Internship/Cooperative Education Participation Among the 621 graduates who responded to this question, 286 (46%) indicated that they were involved in an internship or cooperative education program while attending UND (Table 13-1), up from the 40% who indicated such participation last year. The highest percentage of participants is seen from Medicine and Health Sciences (71%), Engineering and Mines (65%), Business and Public Administration (62%) and Nursing (61%). The fewest participants are from Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences (29%) and Arts and Sciences (30%). About half (49%) of the respondents from Education and Human Development participated in an internship or cooperative education program. Sixty-six percent of respondents who participated in an internship or cooperative education program indicated that their current employment position is “directly related” to the education they received at UND compared to 62% who did not participate in an internship or cooperative education program (Table 14-1). Of the internship/cooperative education participants, 210 respondents reported an average annual salary of $42,461. In comparison, 213 respondents, who did not participate in an internship or cooperative education program and gave annual salary information, reported an average annual salary of $39,134 (Table 14-2) representing a $3,327 difference in earned salary. Last year the difference in salary of those reporting participation or not was $2,393. 9. Current Position in Relation to UND Education When asked “How closely is your current position related to the education you received at UND?” 579 graduates responded to that question. Overall, 513 (89%) indicated that their current position is either “directly related” or “somewhat related” to the education they received at UND (Table 13-2). The graduates reporting at the highest rate that their current position is “directly related” or “somewhat related,” graduated from the Medicine and Health Sciences (100%), Nursing (98%), Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences (92%) and Education and Human Development (90%). Graduates from Business and Public Administration (90%) and Engineering and Mines (89%) also reported a high relationship between their current position and their UND education. Respondents from the College of Arts and Sciences (81%) reported the lowest relationship between their current position and their UND education.

10. UND Career Services/Cooperative Education Office Three-hundred forty-seven (57%) respondents indicated that they had used the services of or attended events sponsored by the UND Career Services/Cooperative Education Office while attending UND (Table 15-1). By college, Nursing (77%), Engineering and Mines (77%) and Business and Public Administration (71%) are the students participating the most in these events or services. Fewer students from Medicine and Health Sciences (21%) and Education and Human Development (38%) reported they had used Career Services or attended related events. Of those respondents who reported that their current employment is “directly related” to the education they received at UND, 57% indicated they had used Career Services while they studied at UND, compared to 43% who did not use Career Services or attend related events (Table 15-2). Of the respondents reporting that their current employment is “somewhat related” to the education they received at UND, a similar trend was seen; 60% indicated using Career Services, compared to 40% who did not use these services. Lastly, of the respondents who reported that their current employment was “not at all related” to the education they received at UND, 55% indicated they had used Career Services, compared to 45% who did not use Career Services or attended related events. 11. Final Observations During times of high unemployment and economic recovery, it is important to watch trends such as the ones obtained through a placement survey. These trends help provide career-related information so the institution can help promote various services and events that help students find more success in the job market. For example, students who participate in internships see a higher relationship between their current position and education. Students who participate in internships or co-op programs also earn a higher salary than those students who don’t participate in these programs. Students who attend Career Services events or partake in their services also see a higher relationship between their current position and education. For North Dakota residents (those graduating from a North Dakota high school) the retention rate increased considerably from last year’s rate of 48% to 60% this year. However, there is still a large exodus from North Dakota of educated and talented graduates – of which many of them report that they believe there are opportunities in the state. That is, 64% of recent graduates believe job opportunities exist in North Dakota but only 40% of them stay. Research shows that when there is high unemployment, student enrollment heightens. This similar trend is apparent at UND. Last year 23% of the respondents reported pursuing additional education compared to this year’s 28%. Also, more students are staying at UND with 32% reporting UND enrollment last year compared to 37% this year. Information collected by this survey can be a benefit not only to Career Services, but to the colleges and individual departments at UND as well. This information can be used by offices in resource allocation, curriculum planning and determining how well they are accomplishing their goals. These offices can also use the information to help answer career-related questions from student inquiries, such as entering salary data by program, employment rates, additional education pursued, and employers of UND’s recent graduates.
