Survey Responses by Gender - 2006

Although there is no item on the alumni survey asking for the respondent’s gender, the male/female distribution was derived by matching the alumni survey file against the degrees file by social security numbers. This was possible as 93.2% (N=300) of the respondents provided their social security numbers. As shown in Table 2, a slightly higher percentage of females is represented in the survey group than is found in the total population of 2005-2006 graduates.
