Annual Reporting Measures

The satisfaction rates from the survey indicate overall satisfaction with the training of their University of Alaska Southeast graduates.

The EPP finds the results of the advanced employer survey inadequate for interpretation due to low responses but is still presenting results. Survey development and implementation have been identified as areas for continuous improvement.
From UA Decision Support Database & State of Alaska Dept of Education Employment Statistics, the results indicate that 85% of our graduates are employed full-time in Alaska in positions for which they have been prepared by the UAS School of Education.
