Career Outcomes Survey History

Career Outcomes

Career Outcomes continue to be a cornerstone of Montana Tech. Career Outcomes are collected within DR 2.0 beginning with the May 2021 class. Requests are administered to all graduates before graduation and updated at multiple intervals after graduation for a period of up to one year. Institutional accountability for student career outcomes has become a top priority across the country.

The Department of Education, the White House College Scorecard, and accrediting boards, along with current and prospective students and their parents, want data on what students do with their college degrees after they graduate, and we have to provide this data. 

Montana Technological University is able to answer career outcome questions with hard data and real-life examples. The Rubio Wyden Act and Obama's White House College Scorecard were introduced to provide transparency to the data colleges and universities should be collecting and sharing.

"Montana Tech has a rich history of collecting, compiling, and reporting what graduates are doing with their degree. The emphasis on accountability from local, regional, and national levels is welcomed," states Montana Tech Director of Career Services Aaron Frale. "The additional collection of data from our students and recent graduates will assist Montana Tech with making data-driven decisions."
