Follow-up Studies Follow-up studies are conducted periodically to determine the performance of candidates in the field after graduation. The latest survey addressed graduates from spring 2008 through fall 2010. Of 46 survey requests, 4 graduates responded. Of those 4 graduates supervisor/employer surveys were then sent to their current employers; 1 employer survey was returned. Survey results should be interpreted with caution due to the very low participation rate. Section 2: Table 7 displays the results. Overall, the limited results indicate that graduates of CSC’s educational administration program believe they are well prepared with scores ranging from 3.31 (.44) for Methodology/Technology to 3.88 (.18) for Thinking Skills. All scores are within the Proficient (3) level. The one supervisor who returned the survey believes the graduate/candidate is very well prepared with an Advanced (4) rating on each conceptual framework dimension.
