Females tend to report slightly higher levels of satisfaction than males.
From an academic perspective, there is strong evidence that Messiah met alumni expectations for a quality education and more than capably prepared alumni for graduate studies. A greater proportion of older alumni report satisfaction with spiritual life than younger alumni. There appears to be a segment of alumni who embrace and support change and want Messiah College to increase in its stature as a Christian higher education institution. There also appears to be a segment of alumni, who are suspicious of change and growth and they wonder if the original mission of the College is also changing. The vast majority of alumni rely upon The Bridge magazine for information about Messiah.
