The Career Center at the University of
California Berkeley
conducts an annual survey of the initial postgraduate activities of its baccalaureate graduates. All 6076
degree
recipients graduating in December 2001, May 2002 and August 2002 were surveyed, starting with our web-
based survey
in fall 2001. Those who did not respond, or whose post-graduate plans were uncertain, were mailed
questionnaires in
December 2002. The overall response rate for the campus was 40.9% (2487 students).
This report presents highlights of the endeavors undertaken by students in each undergraduate school and
college. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The majority of students in the class of 2002 chose employment after graduation - 62.4 percent either were
employed
full time or were still searching six months after graduation. Only 21.0 percent of students matriculated to
graduate school. The remaining students were engaged in other endeavors such as self-employment
(1.2%), part-time
employment (3.3%), internship and volunteer experiences (3.7%), service in the armed forces (0.4%),
taking a year off
(3.0%) or other pursuits (5.0%). The profile for the class of 2001 revealed similar results. That year, 67.6
percent
had found or sought employment and a somewhat lower number (17.6%) had entered graduate
school. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
