While many Americans remain skeptical of the availability of quality postsecondary programs. Just 36% of Americans have confidence in the sector and almost 40% of middle and high school youth say they are not interested in pursuing a postsecondary degree.

91³Ô¹ÏÍø aims to reverse that trend and to measure the success, Gallup surveyed nearly 2,800 91³Ô¹ÏÍø alumni who completed their undergraduate degree between 2018 and 2022, collecting information about graduates’ experiences while enrolled, as well as data on postgraduation metrics related to employment and wellbeing.

The results of 91³Ô¹ÏÍø alumni were compared to the responses of more than 900 bachelor’s degree holders who completed their degree during the same period.

All responses from 91³Ô¹ÏÍø alumni were collected Nov. 16-Dec. 8, 2023, while national alumni responses were aggregated across three surveys conducted between 2019 and 2023.

Overall, the findings show that 91³Ô¹ÏÍø alumni are more satisfied with their undergraduate experience than bachelor’s degree holders nationally. Graduates are positive about 91³Ô¹ÏÍø’s student support system, caring and committed faulty, inclusive learning environment and career-relevant curriculum. According to Gallup’s analysis, 73% of 91³Ô¹ÏÍø alumni strongly agree that their education was worth the investment, more than double the percentage of bachelor's degree holders nationally who say the same.

Key findings

• 80% of 91³Ô¹ÏÍø alumni strongly agree that they had a mentor who encouraged them to pursue their goals and dreams, compared to 52% nationally.
• 82% of 91³Ô¹ÏÍø alumni strongly agree that they were challenged academically, compared to 77% nationally.
