Alumni outcomes data is based on the results of Hofstra's annual Alumni Outcomes Survey and other reliable sources. LinkedIn was used to track employment information on survey non-respondents and National Student Clearinghouse and Hofstra enrollment files were used to track graduate school enrollment for all of our students.
The data collection period for the 2022-2023 Hofstra alumni outcomes was between December 2022 and May 2024. Of the 1,261 undergraduate students who graduated between August 2022 and May 2023, data was collected via surveys and other reliable sources resulting in knowledge about the outcomes for 84% of the 22-23 undergraduate alumni. For the graphic currently displayed, the knowledge rate for 22-23 undergraduate alumni was .
This data uses the best practices recommended by the National Association of Colleges and Employers' (NACE) First Destination Survey Standards in January 2014. In accordance with those practices, this data uses multiple data sources to understand our graduates' outcomes. The NACE recommended threshold knowledge rate is 65%.
Per the NACE definition of Career Outcomes Rate, 92% of Hofstra's undergraduate students report within one year of graduation being employed full or part time in a position that may, or may not be, related to their degree, or that they are attending graduate school full or part time. For the graphic currently displayed, the career outcomes rate for 22-23 undergraduate alumni was .
All data must meet a test of data integrity. The outcomes data reported is determined by the level at which data may be deemed reliable. For the graphic currently displayed, information is provided at the level. This data is largely based on the responses of graduates completing Hofstra surveys, not the total number of graduates, and may not be representative of the total graduating population. The economy is constantly changing, and outcomes for past classes are not an accurate predictor of outcomes for future classes. In addition, a degree from Hofstra or any other school is not a guarantee of employment in any field.
