This Web document points to tables reporting the frequency distributions of responses by college to questions in the 2006 Baccalaureate Alumni Survey. You can use the index below to link to web tables of College Comparisons by Topic. Survey results for all respondents are provided in 2006 Baccalaureate Alumni Survey: All Respondents. For information about the survey and analysis methods see 2006 Baccalaureate Alumni Survey: Introduction, Methods, and Alumni Demographic Profile. Exact question wording is available on the web or by clicking on the "Q" in the section heading of the tables.
The number of alumni responding from each college varies. As noted in the introductory report on the survey's methods, both the actual number of respondents and the response rate affect the margin of error of the results reported. Table 1 below provides information on the number and proportion of alumni responding to the survey from each college, as well as the response rate and margin of error for the college. The margin of error in results reported for individual colleges in the 2006 Baccalaureate Alumni Survey ranges from +2.4 in Agricultural and Life Sciences to +8.0 in Education. When looking at reported response distributions, it is important to keep the college margin of error in mind.
