2011-2012 Graduate and Professional School Outcomes
This report represents graduates from the August 2011, December 2011 and May 2012 graduating classes.
All three classes were surveyed three times each. The first survey was sent to students who had applied for
graduation. The second and third surveys were sent to graduates who were actually awarded degrees. All lists
were provided by the University Registrar and all surveys were administered by the Career Development
Center through Emma Email Marketing program. The survey responses were input into Lightning JobSource
and combined with results received by the Career Development Center from students and employers.
This report contains two major sections:
1. List of GPS by MTSU College and Major
2. Alphabetical List of All GPS.
