Field Test 2011 Student Reinterview

Beginning in summer 2011, the Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B) will survey more than 1,500 bachelor's degree recipients from 150 U.S. colleges and universities to better understand the experience of graduates one year after earning a bachelor’s degree. The survey collects information about respondents’ experiences in the workforce; experiences in and plans for graduate school; earnings and expenses; family status; participation in civic activities and personal and professional goals. Data collected from B&B will help educators, researchers and policymakers at the local, state and national levels better understand the experiences of recent college graduates and what can be done to help them.

The B&B survey is now closed. Check back in June 2011.
Thank you for your participation!

You can obtain additional information about the B&B study by using the links at the left side of this page. If you need additional assistance, send an e-mail to bbemail@rti.org or call the Help Desk toll-free at 1-877-262-4440.

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this voluntary information collection is 1850–0729. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 35 minutes per response, including the time to review instructions, gather the data needed and complete and review the information collection. If you have any comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate or suggestions for improving this survey, please write to: U.S. Department of Education, Washington, DC 20202–4537. If you have any comments or concerns regarding the status of your individual submission of this survey, write directly to: The 2008-12 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:08/12), National Center for Education Statistics, 1990 K Street, NW, Washington, DC 20006.
