The Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B), conducted by the National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES), part of the U.S. Department of Education, examines students’ education and work experiences
after they complete a bachelor’s degree, with a special emphasis on the experiences of school teachers. The
B&B-eligible cohort is initially identified in the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS). The third cohort
(B&B:08) was identified in NPSAS:2008, and consisted of students who received their bachelor’s degree in the
2007–08 academic year. It became the base year for follow-up interviews in 2009 and 2012. The B&B:08/18 data
collection will be the third and final follow-up for the third cohort of the B&B series (OMB# 1850-0729). The request
to conduct the B&B:08/18 field test data collection was approved in May, 2017 (1850-0729 v.11). Data collection is
scheduled to begin on July 17, 2017 (the schedule in Part A has been updated accordingly). This request is to
reduce the number of data collection experiments, modify the B&B:08/18 instrument facsimile, and update data
collection materials to reflect minor changes in procedures.
