*Each graduating class is made up of students who graduated from July 1 through June 30. For example, the Class of 2022 comprises students who graduated from July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022. This is consistent with the U.S. Department of Education's definition in gathering education statistics for its IPEDS database.
NACE’s First-Destinations Surveys Team coined the term “knowledge rate” to be used in lieu of “survey response rate” to reflect the approach of going beyond simply relying on a survey for obtaining outcome information. It’s important to not think about how many graduates responded to [the] survey but to identify the percentage of graduates for whom [Viterbi has] knowledge about their first-destination career outcomes.
