Future Plans of HSU Graduates

The results of a survey conducted by the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, in early May 2010, regarding the future plans of our graduates are shown below. Students who had filed for Spring or Summer 2010 graduation by April 25, 2010 were sent a survey invitation by email. They were asked two questions, what they planned to do after graduation and where they planned to go. Respondents were allowed to choose more than one option for what they planned to do but could choose only one geographical area where they planned to live. 43% (n=451) of the students surveyed responded.
