I. 2013‐2014 NYIT Graduating Student Survey Highlights
The mean overall ratings of students’ experience at NYIT by campus (where 1 = poor and 5 =excellent) are: Manhattan 3.66, Old Westbury 3.69, Abu Dhabi 4.33, Canada 3.33, and China4.10. See page 12 for the three‐year rating trend.
About 93% of respondents are employed at the time of the survey. Trends in overallemployment rates and other employment details can be found on pages 4‐5.
Approximately 43% of Old Westbury graduates and 53% of Manhattan graduates reported thatthey participated in experiential learning (defined as internships, externships, field work,practicums, student teaching, and/or clerkships) during their time at NYIT.
Reasons why New York campus respondents would recommend NYIT to a friend include:availability of online courses and programs; accessible, caring professors who work in their fieldsand provide “real life” knowledge; small class sizes and individualized attention; worldwidealumni networking opportunities; convenient locations and beautiful campuses; sense ofcommunity and feeling “at home” on campus; courses with a global perspective and emphasison technology; and the opportunity to take part in an international culture and meet diversestudents from all over the world.
Most respondents from Abu Dhabi, Canada, and China rate their English language skills assatisfactory or better. Abu Dhabi and Canada graduates worked or communicated with NYITstudents and/or faculty in the U.S. “very rarely” or “not at all,” while China campus graduatesreported more interaction with U.S. campuses (52% of respondents say they did so occasionallyor often). A majority of respondents at all global campuses would have liked to collaboratemore with NYIT’s U.S. campuses.
Procedure
Beginning in spring 2015, all graduates for the academic year 2013‐2014 (August 2013 through July 2014) were contacted by email and invited to participate in the online survey. The email included a greeting from the Institutional Research and Assessment department as well as the link to the online survey. The initial email list consisted of 2,315 undergraduate and graduate students; of that number 2,149 were successfully delivered. Four follow‐up emails were sent at approximately 2‐week intervals. This effort yielded a total of 460 responses, for a 21% overall response rate on the successful deliveries. An analysis of the survey sample shows that for most locations and schools, respondents are accurately represented relative to their populations; however, China is somewhat overrepresented in the GSS sample, and Old Westbury is somewhat underrepresented.
