The JMU Alumni Survey

Alumni continue to be surveyed in five-year cycles timed with each department's program review. The survey includes general questions common to all programs as well as a set of questions specifically designed by major departments. The major-specific section of the alumni survey is mailed to every program major who has been graduated from one to six years, a five-year cohort. When a program completes a five-year cycle, a new cohort begins. This design allows programs to explore trends in student perceptions to corroborate and validate curricular, policy, and programmatic changes. The Center for Assessment and Research Studies coordinates the survey process and maintains information related to the University's alumni. The Center also ensures that the general questions on the Alumni questionnaire address University, state, and regional concerns and meet the standards of SCHEV and SACSCOC.
