Graduating Senior Survey

Since 1997, Middle Tennessee State University has administered a survey annually to spring semester graduating seniors. Beginning fall 2009, the Graduating Senior survey is administered to the fall and spring graduating seniors. The purpose of the survey is to obtain information regarding the students' educational experiences and future plans. The survey instrument is divided into five sections: (1) background information, (2) employment data, (3) plans following graduation, (4) student support services, and (5) satisfaction with general studies and their academic program.
