2007 CU-Boulder Alumni Survey
Highest Degree – Currently Working on or Obtained
In 2007, alumni were asked if they had taken any additional courses toward an advanced degree. If alumni responded “yes,” to this question, they were also asked to provide information on the advanced degree for which they were taking courses. The survey item was worded as follows:
Tell us about the highest degree you've obtained or are currently working on:
Degree: ______
Area of Study: ______
Institution: ______
Location: ______
Have you received this degree yet?
Yes
No
The written information that alumni provided is shown in a separate table. Responses are organized by college/division and degree program, the respondent’s previous CU degree level, the highest degree enrolled in or obtained, and whether respondent received the degree yet.
The percentage of alumni who reported they had obtained an advanced or additional degree is shown below. We excluded those alumni, at each degree level, who had erroneously reported their CU-Boulder degree again as their additional or advanced degree in answer to this question.
Alumni who obtained an additional or advanced degree at time of survey
