Class of 2026: Complete the First Destinations Survey

April 24, 2026

Soon-to-be graduates are encouraged to complete the annual First Destinations Survey (FDS) administered by the University to all bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree recipients.

A group of graduates take a selfie before their Commencement ceremony.

The FDS survey reports outcomes of employment (both full- and part-time, volunteering, military service, or a gap year), continuing education (the pursuit of additional education), and still seeking (still exploring options six months after graduation). It also captures top graduate schools where 91Âé¶¹¾«Æ· graduates enroll, and top industries where they find their first job.

The survey is available via Handshake and can be completed in 10-15 minutes.
