Programs can also use surveys as an assessment tool:

  • Employer surveys: Gauge how your graduates are doing in the real world. Results can identify any curricular gaps.

  • Graduate surveys: Hear from your former students regarding areas in which they feel strong and those in which they would have liked to have had more practice before entering the workforce.

  • Exit surveys: Learn what upcoming grads feel prepared for. Understand what equipment may need updating.

  • Course surveys: Learn what works and what doesn't.

  • The results are yours alone. LOA does not share data with anyone other than the survey requestor.
