secured an outcome prior to graduation

The First Destination Survey is administered annually by University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh Career and Professional Development using Handshake. Following the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) standards, data was collected from baccalaureate degree candidates prior to graduation and through follow-up emails sent to graduates six months after graduation. Graduates who had already completed the survey were invited to update their previous responses if their post-graduation status had changed. Outcome information was also collected from campus community members, telephone calls and web research.

In total, 1,445 graduates are included in this report. The results reflect students from the Class of 2023–24 who were on the official graduation list and awarded a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh during the 2023–24 academic year, including graduates from fall 2023, spring 2024 and summer 2024.
