Exit Surveys
The University of Washington Graduate School requires each
student who is completing an M.A. or Ph.D. to fill out an exit
survey questionnaire. Survey questions address a variety of
topics, such as perceived program quality and post-graduation
employment plans. The University compiles these data to produce
summary reports, which are sent to Deans, Department Chairs,
and other University administrators. The annual reports compare
the ratings received by individual academic units with the ratings
given their parent College and with the University as a whole.
We have also posted the most recent available surveys from
the two units that merged to form the Department of Communication--the
Department of Speech Communication and the School of Communications.
These surveys show that recent grads gave positive ratings to
all units, and all units compare well with the larger College
of Arts & Sciences and the University as a whole. We are
confident that we will continue to receive comparable ratings.
A Note on Expenses in the Exit Surveys
These surveys include many students who did not receive
assistantships for graduate study in communication. This is
important to keep in mind when reading the survey data regarding
debt upon graduation. When and if disaggregated financial data
becomes available, we will post it on this website, but the
University does not yet have plans to provide these data.
