Indicator 4.5Long-term alumni academic satisfaction, Universitywide, 2010
UC students who graduated in 1989, 1999, and 2004 report higher levels of satisfaction with their UC education than UC seniors who were surveyed in 2010. Student satisfaction seems to grow slightly with time away from UC.
The reasons for the differences in satisfaction among the classes are not clear. Students graduating five, 10 or 20 years ago may have been more satisfied with their UC education than students graduating in 2010. Satisfaction may grow with time away from UC, upon reflection and as students settle into careers.
