A Study of the Graduates of the New College External Degree Program at The University of Alabama

The study was concerned with identifying and analyzing the characteristics of New College External Degree graduates; examining their academic curricula and opinions of the program; and assessing the influence the degree has had on graduates' employment opportunities, further education, and personal development. Specifically, the research was designed to: 1. Develop a profile of New College's External Degree graduates from personal and demographic data. 2. Obtain academic and curricular demographic data on graduates including credit options used to complete program requirements. 3. Assess the "success" of the degree as perceived by graduates in terms of access and admittance to graduate study, career and employment opportunities, and impact on personal development and life enrichment. 4. Seek an evaluation of graduates' perceptions of adequacy of External Degree Program features and services.
