How Many Connecticut College Alumni Earn Graduate or Professional Degrees? John D. Nugent Office of Institutional Research and Planning March 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We used National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) data to determine how many Connecticut College alumni earn graduate or professional degrees within about 10 years of graduating. NSC data showed 637 (47%) of the 1,367 graduates of the Classes of 2007, 2008, and 2009 earned a total of 711 graduate or professional degrees as of January 2019. In descending order of frequency, 67% of these were master’s degrees (n=477) 12% were law degrees (n=85), 9% were business degrees (n=62), 6% were doctorates (n=46), and another 6% were medical degrees (n=41). Because several dozen 2007‐2009 graduates were still enrolled in degree programs as of the Spring 2019 semester, and because NSC data include only U.S. colleges and universities, it is safe to conclude that about half of these alumni will ultimately have earned one or more post‐baccalaureate degrees. Most 2007‐2009 graduates who went on to receive a medical, law or business degree waited at least two years after their graduation from Conn before enrolling in the program. The average elapsed time before beginning a degree program in medicine, law, or business was 26 months, 27 months, and 48 months, respectively. Using the federal government’s Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) categories, the ten most common academic fields in which these alumni earned graduate or professional degrees were Health Professions and Related Programs (n=110 degrees); Education (n=104); Legal Professions and Studies (n=86); Business Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services (n=81); Public Administration and Social Service Professions (n=63); Psychology (n=52); Social Sciences (n=37); Visual and Performing Arts (n=26); Biological and Biomedical Sciences (n=20); Architecture and Related Services (n=15); and Physical Sciences (n=15). How Many Connecticut College Alumni Earn Graduate or Professional Degrees? John D. Nugent Office of Institutional Research and Planning April 2019 Overview We are increasingly asked for evidence regarding the activities of Connecticut College alumni, both in terms of employment and graduate and professional degree completions. While we routinely research our graduates’ activities in the first year following their graduation, we rarely take a comprehensive look at graduate school attendance and degree completions in a time frame broad enough to capture all or most of their total post‐baccalaureate degree activity. This report details the results of a “ten‐year‐out” study of the Class of 2008 to determine their post‐ Connecticut College enrollments and degree completions as of the end of the fall 2018 semester. To include a larger number of cases and increase our confidence in the results (in case, e.g., the class of 2008 was not typical for some reason), the Classes of 2007 and 2009 were also included, giving us nearly 1,400 cases to examine. It is thus technically a “nine‐to‐eleven‐year‐out study” of how many of our graduates earned graduate and professional degrees, what those degrees were, where they were completed, and what the undergraduate majors were of alumni who completed advanced degrees. Methodology To determine how many members of the Classes of 2007‐2009 pursued post‐Connecticut College education (either degrees or non‐degree‐seeking coursework), we queried the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), a nonprofit enrollment and degree verification service to which most U.S. colleges and universities submit enrollment and degree‐completion data. As a participating institution, Connecticut College can access the database for institutional research purposes, and NSC data can usually indicate whether a student has enrolled at an institution after graduating from Connecticut College. If so, we receive semester‐by‐semester details on that enrollment—the name of the institution, starting and end dates of the term, whether the enrollment was part‐time or full‐time, and in many cases, the name of the program and whether a degree was received. Because our graduates’ post‐baccalaureate careers are always “in progress” as students successively enroll in programs, move through them, and complete them (or not), any summary of the post‐ baccalaureate enrollments of a group of graduates is necessarily a snapshot in time of a phenomenon that is really a motion picture. The results of the same query would look different six months or six years from now. Moreover, the NSC collects data only from U.S. institutions, so enrollments in graduate programs abroad are not captured in the results shown below. On the whole, though, NSC data provide much more thorough results than, say, an alumni survey – which usually have very low response rates. The names of the 1,367 graduates of the classes of 2007 (n=491), 2008 (n=440), and 2009 (n=436) were uploaded to the Clearinghouse in January 2019. This query looked for any enrollments at U.S. colleges and universities between each person’s graduation date and the end of the fall 2018 semester. 1 General results One or more NSC records were found for 810 (59%) of the 1,367 graduates covered in this study. This means that, as a general estimate, nearly 60% of graduates from these three class years enrolled at some U.S. institution at some point after graduating, for at least one course. (Most of our students who get any post‐ Connecticut College education enroll in degree programs, but some do take individual courses, sometimes at community colleges or online institutions. Non‐degree‐program coursework indicates our graduates’ ongoing intellectual curiosity and commitment to life‐long learning and also sometimes precedes enrollment in a degree program.) Each student’s “outcome” was coded using one or more of the following categories: No National Student Clearinghouse record was found for the student Student was enrolled at some point post‐Connecticut College, but no degree was earned Student was enrolled as of Fall 2018 (i.e., is a current student) Student earned a degree or credential o Student graduated but no information on degree type was in Clearinghouse records o Student earned a certificate (e.g., a sixth‐year certificate in educational leadership) o Student earned an associate’s degree (e.g., an associate’s in culinary arts) o Student earned a second bachelor’s degree (e.g., a BS in nursing) o Student earned a master’s degree (either terminal [MFA, MArch, etc.] or nonterminal [MA, MS, etc.]) o Student earned a professional (business or law) degree (MBA or JD/LLM) o Student earned a medical degree (MD, DO, DDM, DVM, etc.) o Student earned a doctorate (PhD, ThD, PsyD) A student could have more than one outcome, if, for example, she earned a master’s degree followed by a PhD, if he earned a master’s degree and was enrolled in the fall 2018 semester, or if she completed a dual‐ degree program and earned, say, an MBA and a JD (which were tallied for this study as two separate earned degrees). Because of these sorts of possibilities, the number of outcomes shown in the table below is larger than the number of students in the three graduating classes for whom an NSC record was found. The 917 recorded outcomes of the 810 students for whom the NSC contained information were as follows: OUTCOME Earned a master's degree Post‐Conn. enrollment but no evidence of degree earned Earned a law degree Enrolled as of Fall 2018 semester Earned a business degree Earned a doctorate Earned a medical degree Earned a certificate Earned a second bachelor's degree Earned an associate’s degree Degree earned but no details found TOTALS # 477 94 85 66 62 46 41 20 20 4 2 917 2 To focus attention on just the graduate and professional degrees these alumni earned, we excluded outcomes of “enrolled as of fall 2018” and “Post‐Conn. enrollment but no evidence of degree earned,” plus the handful of students who earned associate’s degrees or second bachelor’s degrees (most of these students appear to be pursuing careers in nursing or medicine and need coursework they didn’t take as undergraduates). This results in the following totals, shown in descending order of frequency: OUTCOME Earned master's degree Earned professional degree‐Law Earned professional degree‐MBA Earned doctorate Earned medical degree TOTALS # 477 85 62 46 41 711 % 67% 12% 9% 6% 6% 100% These 711 earned degrees reflect the accomplishments of 639 of the 1,367 graduates of the Classes of 2007‐ 2009. Based on those numbers, we find that an unduplicated count of 47% of these alumni went on to earn at least one graduate or professional degree within roughly 10 years of graduating from Connecticut College. As noted above, these figures should be considered undercounts because they do not capture degrees earned from institutions outside the U.S., and because about 50 students without any earned post‐ Connecticut College degree so far were enrolled as of the fall 2018 semester – presumably on their way to earning a degree in most cases. As such, it is reasonable to conclude that about half of our students earn a graduate or professional degree within the decade following their graduation. Full details of the degrees earned by these students are found in the appendix to this report. The summary table below shows the institutions at which our graduates most frequently earned the indicated degrees.

Graduates from the Classes of 2007‐2009 earned graduate degrees in a wide range of academic fields. National Student Clearinghouse records generally include the name of each degree and often the academic field in which it was earned. Full details appear in the appendix, but because of variations in how institutions name their degree programs and departments, we standardized the coding of the academic fields to get a true sense of, for example, how many graduates earned degrees in fields like education or psychology, which have dozens of subfields and degree programs. We recoded each degree field using the federal government’s Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) codes, which are the industry standard for reporting programs in a consistent way across institutions.1 The table below shows, in descending order of frequency, our graduates’ graduate and professional degrees by degree type and by academic field. For an overview of the CIP categories, see https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/browse.aspx?y=55 4 We can quickly see the main patterns of degree completions: large numbers earned medical degrees or master’s degrees in health‐related fields, followed by an almost equal number of alumni getting master’s degrees in education‐related fields. Law degrees and business degrees (mostly MBAs but also some master’s degrees in fields like accounting) are next in terms of their frequencies, followed by a category that includes public administration and social work degrees. Psychology and social science graduate degrees come next, followed by degrees in the visual and performing arts (mostly MFAs). Biological sciences degrees were next in terms of frequency, and from there, diminishing numbers of degrees were earned in a variety of other academic fields.

Because of requests from alumni to write letters of recommendation, faculty and staff members understand well that many of our students who go on to earn graduate or professional degrees do not enter those programs the semester immediately following their graduation from Connecticut College (i.e., in September, three months after earning a bachelor’s degree in May). There are many reasons for this, and we should be able to accurately advise our students on the typical lengths of time that elapse before our alumni pursue additional education. This information may be of interest to advisees, for example, who are planning when they will study for and take standardized exams like the GRE and LSAT, when they will apply for graduate programs, etc. More specific reasons include the fact that the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship program guidelines indicate that “Fellows must enroll in doctoral programs within 39 months of receiving their undergraduate degrees”2 and the fact that most business schools prefer or indeed require applicants to have work experience before entering an MBA program. International students may have visa requirements that prohibit them from remaining in the U.S. without being enrolled in a degree program. It may be reassuring to our students that they don’t need to determine or finalize their graduate‐school plans while they are still at Connecticut College; the data below indicate that these plans tend to unfold gradually for many of our alumni. In general, there is a fair amount of variation in the timespans that elapsed before these alumni entered graduate programs. While most students begin these types of graduate programs in the fall, some begin them in spring or summer semesters. As such, we calculated the elapsed time before program entry in months. (Because the exact number of months until our graduates entered a program was determined manually, we did not do these calculations for the very large number of alumni who earned master’s degrees other than MBA’s; the data below include those who earned doctorates, medical degrees, law degrees, and business degrees.) For a student going directly on to graduate or professional school after graduating from Connecticut College, the elapsed time to program entry was recorded as 3 months. For someone who waited one year, the elapsed time was recorded as 15 months, and so forth. The average amount of elapsed time before alumni earning doctorates, medical degrees, law degrees, and business degrees entered the programs was 32 months, or over two and a half years. The chart below shows the variation among the different types of degree programs, and the table following the chart shows the full See https://www.ssrc.org/programs/view/mellon‐mays‐graduate‐initiatives‐program/ 6 frequency distributions. We see that less than one‐third of alumni who earn law degrees or doctorates enter those programs in the fall semester immediately following their graduation from Connecticut College (i.e., after 3 months). Only about one‐fifth of alumni who go on to earn medical degrees begin those programs immediately, and almost no alumni enter business school immediately, for reasons explained above.

As noted above on p. 3, about 47% of all of the graduates in these three classes went on to earn a graduate or professional degree, but the figure was 54% for female alumni and 37% for male alumni. The figure below shows the respective percentages of each graduate and professional degree earned by female and male alumni, as compared with their overall numbers in these three classes. The proportion of law degrees earned by female and male alumni matched nearly exactly the proportion of those students in the three graduating classes, while females earned a higher proportion of master’s degrees and doctorates and a lower proportion of business and medical degrees, relative to their overall proportions in the three graduating classes. Females Males 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% Earned master's degrees (n=477) 75% 25% Earned doctorates (n=46) 74% 26% All 2007‐2009 grads in the study (n=1,367) 61% 39% Earned law degrees (n=85) 60% 40% Earned business degrees (n=62) Earned medical degrees (n=41) 55% 49% 100% 45% 51% Variation by major The 1,367 individuals in the Classes of 2007‐2009 graduated with a total of 1,765 majors, and we can look for patterns in which majors’ graduates went on to earn graduate and professional degrees in largest numbers and at the highest rates. Parsing these results by students’ majors is complicated by the phenomenon of double and triple majoring. For students who had two or three majors at Connecticut College, there is no easy way to say which major(s) most prepared the student or led to their choice of graduate degrees, we simply offer the results here and note the complexity in some cases of drawing a straight line between a student’s undergraduate work and their graduate or professional degrees. (At a liberal arts institution, this complexity should presumably be expected and welcomed.) The table below shows the Class of 2007‐2009 graduate and professional degree completions organized by students’ undergraduate majors. Overall, the majors whose graduates went on to earn the largest numbers of graduate and professional degrees were, unsurprisingly, the most common majors at the College in most cases. Moreover, many of the patterns in this table are ones that could probably be predicted. For example, the most common majors for recipients of MBA’s, law degrees, and medical degrees were Economics, 8 Master's degrees Law degrees Business degrees Medical degrees Doctorates Government, and Biological Sciences, respectively. Reading this table in conjunction with the one on pp. 5‐6, on the other hand, reveals some interesting patterns, such as the fact that English majors earn the second highest number of graduate and professional degrees (62), but not in the subfield of English, for the most part (since only 12 graduate degrees in English were earned). The same pattern holds for History majors as well. Together, these results appear to indicate that some of our students go on to earn graduate and professional degrees in fields closely related to their undergraduate majors, while others step onto a new disciplinary path. It is also worth examining the flip side of the above question – which majors’ graduates attend graduate school at the lowest rates? This is of interest not because there is anything wrong with a major whose graduates don’t enroll in additional schooling after graduating from Connecticut College but for the opposite reason: That part of the “value proposition” of a liberal arts education is that it prepares students for a wide range of career options rather than just preparing students to acquire additional schooling that will train them for a career. As such, it is worth examining which majors’ graduates have acquired additional education at the lowest rates since graduating.
