GRADUATE SURVEYS
Surveys for satisfaction are surveyed upon completion of the program. Graduate surveys for employment are
typically sent to graduates six months to one year after graduation.

Class of 2015-of the 15 graduates surveyed 15 were satisfied with their overall experiences with the RT Program. All graduates
submitted the surveys during their exit interviews.

Class of 2014-of the 16 graduates surveyed 16 were satisfied with their overall experiences with the RT Program. All graduates
submitted the surveys during their exit interviews.

Class of 2013-of the 15 graduates surveyed 15 were satisfied with their overall experiences with the RT Program. All graduates
submitted the surveys during their exit interviews.

Class of 2012-of the 20 graduates surveyed 20 were satisfied with their overall experiences with the RT Program. All graduates
submitted the surveys the surveys during their exit interviews.

Class of 2011-of the 23 graduates surveyed 22 were satisfied with their overall experiences with the RT Program. All graduates
submitted the surveys the surveys during their exit interviews.

Class of 2010-of the 20 graduates surveyed 20 were satisfied with their overall experiences with the RT Program. All graduates
submitted the surveys the surveys during their exit interviews.

Graduates have extensive program completion exit interviews upon completion of the program. These surveys consist of:
Clinical Evaluations (for their two years) , Clinical Instructor Evaluations ( for their two years), Clinical Experiences Evaluations
( for their two years),, Course Evaluations (for their two years), Instructor Evaluations ( for their two years), and Program
Evaluations (for their two years).
Both positive and negative graduate surveys are shared with the clinical instructors and didactic instructors.
Recommendations from graduates consisted of: more comfortable chairs, shortening the day, having more resources such as designated
computer labs, more study areas, having the study areas open on weekends, having faculty have more control of the air conditioning
and/or heating environment. Some indicated they were not satisfied with the clinical training (this issue was addressed with the specific
Clinical Facility). Students indicated they were satisfied with the application process, start of the program, sequence of courses and
completion of the program on time.
