Educational Outcomes - Path 101

Measuring Educational Outcomes What does a degree from your school mean to a career?

Going to college is becoming more and more expensive…

… and putting a huge financial burden on young people.

… but it’s clearly worth it, right?.

We have lots of stats to prove it.

People who go to college…

… make more money.

… get better benefits.

… vote more...

… smoke less...

… are healthier!

So it’s clearly worth it to get a degree.

Any degree?

Does it matter which school?

There’s a wide variation in cost among schools…

… but what about the outcomes ? ROI?

Is a private school really worth twice the tuition as a state school?

Can you prove it?

What is the outcome, anyway?

Salary?

Success?

Happiness?

Did your school have anything to do with it?

What do your alumni think?

US News certainly has an opinion...

...as long as it sells magazines.

Shouldn’t you be the one measuring the outcomes?

Do you have stats to show...

Success, salary, happiness…

… by major, minor, industry, occupation, experience, geography, donor status, participation in campus life…

… or do you just know current contact information?

When your alumni update their contact information…

Do you delete the old info?

Or track it over time ?

Would you like to know…

… if your pre-law students make partner earlier than comparable schools?

… if your pre-law students make partner earlier than more expensive schools?

… if your science majors feel underprepared…

… and change careers into another field?

What department is producing your highest paid and fastest rising alumni?

What skills do your successful alumni have?

Should this influence what you teach?

Have you ever been asked these questions?

What if people start asking?

What if prospective students start asking?

What if accreditation agencies start asking?

How long before your competitors start using this kind of data in their advertising?

Shouldn’t you ask first?

A survey isn’t enough.

We’re building a database of millions of resumes.

We understand job titles, occupations…

… over 100,000 of them and counting.

We’re asking about job satisfaction, relevance of education...

… so we can help them with their careers.

You understand your students and alumni.

We understand their careers.
