Post-graduate Report
Each year, Rhodes Career Services conducts a survey to determine the post-graduation activities of a class that graduated previously from Rhodes College. Graduating seniors are given an opportunity to complete this survey online prior to graduation, and additional information is collected throughout the following year.

This year, the Class of 2006 received surveys from Career Services. On June 19, 2007, the Career Services staff held a phone-a-thon in an effort to reach approximately 105 alumni who had not completed the survey.
Of the 331 graduates in the class of 2006, 313 surveys were complete enough to use for the study. This number represents a 94.5% response rate.
| Number | Percentage | |
| Usable Records | 313 | 94.5% |
| Full-time Employment | 130 | 41.5% |
| Graduate School | 101 | 32.3% |
| Both* | 12 | 3.8% |
| Temporary Employment** | 21 | 6.7% |
| Volunteer | 9 | 2.9% |
| Other | 40 | 12.8% |
* "Both" refers to those who are attending or have completed a graduate/professional program on a full-time basis while working in a full-time position.
** "Temporary employment" refers to non-career positions. It should be noted that some students choose temporary employment options prior to making a commitment to a full-time position or graduate program.
*** "Other" refers to students who were in the job search process but had not made a commitment at the time of the survey. It also includes those who are traveling, pursuing a second BS/BA (including 3 enrolled in a BSN program), and 12 students taking graduate classes on a part-time schedule.
