FOLLOW-UP STUDY OF 2010 GRADUATES
IN TEACHING

Career Services Office, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point
•
This report provides data on the employment or continued educational status of UW-SP
graduates of December 2009, May 2010 and August 2010. Research was completed
within a year of graduation, with the report compiled for release in the spring of 2011.
Statistical information is provided, as is a detailed listing of job titles, employers and
locations for graduates. Note that the report represents individuals receiving their
baccalaureate degree, not individuals who already have a degree and are adding teaching
certification.
•
The report distinguishes between those employed full-time and those employed parttime in educational capacities. Full-time includes graduates employed 75% or more.
Part-time includes individuals employed as teachers with less than a 75% contract, as
well as individuals working as substitute teachers, coaches or educational aides.
Employed Out of Field: This category refers to individuals reporting work that is not
in a teaching setting. This includes both employment unrelated to the graduate’s
degree, as well as that which is related, but is not in an educational setting (ex:
Biology major working as a Clinical Technician).
Further Schooling: This category includes individuals who are continuing their
education in graduate or professional programs, as well as those who are returning to
school for an additional major or selected course work.
Available: This refers to individuals who are actively seeking employment but have
not yet accepted a position.
Total Placed: This is the number of individuals who have secured some type of
employment or are continuing their education.
Not Seeking: These are individuals reporting that they are neither entering the
workforce nor pursuing further schooling. (Number not included in percentage
calculations.)
No Report: This category includes graduates whom we were unable to reach, or who
were unwilling to provide the requested information. (Number not included in
percentage calculations.)
Readers using this information to make career decisions should always consult a
career counselor, faculty member and/or other educational professionals.
DETAILED REPORT CATEGORIES
Information is organized alphabetically according to academic major with individual
names omitted to maintain confidentiality. All types of employment are listed together
(encompassing the statistical report categories of "employed in field" and "employed out
of field"), followed by the list of further schooling reported. We list as much information
as we acquire, and in some cases this is less than complete. Unless we were able to survey
the graduate directly, we may have had difficulty obtaining all the details we request
(specific job title, name and location of the employer and whether the position is full-time
or part-time).
STATISTICAL REPORT CATEGORIES
Each graduate is counted only once, despite the fact that many complete multiple majors
simultaneously. We generally list the person according to the major that appears first in
the graduation printout from the Registration & Records Office. These occurrences are
noted in our statistics with an asterisk and footnote.
Many graduates pursue teaching certification in several fields by completing multiple
academic majors or minors. This opens employment options in areas other than those in
the academic major under which they are listed in our report. This helps to explain, for
example, how a Foreign Languages major may report being employed as an English
teacher.
The Career Services staff makes numerous attempts to collect data from each
graduate. Information in this report represents contact with 90% of the graduates
or their families (214 of 238 graduates).
Our categories and their explanations follow:
• Total Number of Graduates and Total Number Seeking: These categories distinguish
between the total number of people graduating and the number who are entering the
workforce/pursuing additional schooling. Percentages are calculated based on the
number of graduates seeking employment or further schooling, not on the total
number of graduates.
• Employed In Field: This category refers to individuals who report that their work is
in an educational setting related to their academic study, or who we feel are working
in an educational position that utilizes their college degree.

Due to double majors, there were more graduates in this major than indicated. Double majors are normally counted and listed according to the major appearing first on the
graduation printout from the Registration & Records Office. In addition to the teaching majors appearing above, Elementary Education contains twenty-one Exceptional
Education majors and one Social Science major; Family and Consumer Science contains one Spanish major; Social Science contains thirteen History majors and one
Political Science major. Four non-teaching multiple majors are also included in this report: one Music major in English; one Music major and one Dance major in Social
Science and one Art major in Exceptional Education.
PLEASE NOTE:
Percentages are calculated based on the total number of graduates seeking employment, not the total number of graduates.
In the Communicative Disorders field (Speech-Language Pathology), a Master's degree is required for certification in Wisconsin. Twenty-three MS degrees were conferred
and 96% of the recipients were employed in the field or were pursuing further schooling. Also in the Communicative Disorders field, four Doctor of Audiology degrees were
conferred with 100% of the recipients employed in the field.
