Survey of 1975-76 Graduates: Community Colleges. Student Flow Project, Report No. 22.
Hawaii Univ., Honolulu. Community Coll. System.
All 2,346 graduates of Hawaii community colleges 1975-76 were surveyed in September 1976 using a two-part questionnaire intended to elicit from students both general information and a general evaluation of the students' college experience. The evaluation section requested a rating of importance of 11 educational goals and 12 expectations, and a rating of the degree to which goals and expectations were fulfilled. A response rate of 65% was achieved. Analysis of the system-wide data showed: (1) 40% of the graduates were employed, 22% were enrolled in school and employed, and 9% were enrolled in school; (2) of those attending school, 48% were liberal arts majors, 65% were part-time students, and 63% were seeking bachelor's degrees; (3) of those employed, 71% were working full-time, 41% felt their course work was very relevant to their jobs while 32% felt their course work was somewhat relevant, and 36% felt that their present jobs were the type in which they would probably make their career; and (4) in terms of evaluating their college experience, 90% considered being educated for an occupation as very important, approximately 75% felt that their very important goals had been attained, and 79% considered having been able to choose from a large curriculum as being very important. Analyses of the survey data for each campus are included as are tabular data displaying survey responses. The survey instrument is appended. (JDS)
