Note to the 2015 Sample SNAAP Institutional Report

This Sample Institutional Report is intended to illustrate the kind of information a participating institution will receive.

The data in this sample report are compiled from several anonymous institutions.

May 2016

Sample University 123 Any Road Anytown, USA Dear Name: We are pleased to present your institution’s results from the 2015 survey by the Strategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP). In this report, you will find your institution’s confidential data alongside aggregate findings from peer institutions. Before delving into your school’s results beginning in Section 2, we encourage you to read Section 1 which puts your data in context. In addition to your 2015 Institutional Report, we provide you with a full data set of identifiable information. While you are free to use and publicize your data as you wish, please remember that individual respondents should never be publicly identified. This year for the first time we have developed a data visualization report, the SnaapGraph. It contains a summary of your key data points in a colorful, graphic format and will be available shortly. Your SNAAP data will generate rich insights and, most likely, contain actionable findings. To assist you in sharing and using your SNAAP data on campus, we provide a number of tools on the SNAAP website (snaap.indiana.edu), including webinars and information about how other institutions are using their data. Later this summer, we will publish our Annual Results which will focus on key findings from the 2015 data from all institutions. Thank you for your leadership as part of this national effort to learn more about the lives and careers of graduates of arts programs. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about SNAAP. Best wishes,

Sally Gaskill Director

2015 surveY overviewabout snaaP

The Strategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP) is an annual online survey, data management, and institutional improvement system designed to enhance the quality of arts school education.

SNAAP generates rich, detailed information about the lives and careers of people with intensive training in the arts, broadly defined. Educational institutions with degree programs in the arts need high quality, actionable data for planning and assessment. Accreditation requirements also increasingly require information about alumni outcomes. SNAAP data can be critical to both.

SNAAP data can identify ways to better connect arts training to artistic careers, making it possible for arts leaders, educators, and researchers to understand and address the systemic factors that help or hinder the career paths of alumni, whether they work as artists or pursue other paths. SNAAP data allow participating schools to compare themselves with similar schools across multiple dimensions. The annual findings also provide insight into national patterns and trends resulting from detailed analyses of employment, career outcomes, and institutional experiences by artistic discipline, geographic region, graduation year cohort, and degree type.

SNAAP grew out of the Surdna Foundation’s interest in helping arts training institutions across the country learn more about their graduates. Following several years of planning, three field tests of the survey were conducted beginning in 2008. The first national administration occurred in fall 2011 and was repeated in 2012 and 2013, creating a database of nearly 100,000 respondents. In 2015, over 40,000 arts alumni responded to SNAAP’s new questionnaire and topical modules.

introducing snaaP 2.0

In 2015, SNAAP revised the core questionnaire by tailoring questions to provide actionable results for institutions. The new questionnaire was administered

in 2015 and will be repeated in 2016 and 2017. Other innovations introduced in SNAAP 2.0 include:

n Topical modules on subjects of particular concern to institutions that can be appended to the core questionnaire; new topical modules include Career Skills and Entrepreneurship and Internships

n Data visualizations (SnaapGraph) of key results for ease of interpretation and sharing

n Accreditation toolkits that map SNAAP survey items to the standards of accrediting agencies

Benefits of snaaP Participation

Leaders at educational institutions with degree-granting arts programs can use SNAAP results to:

n inform, develop, and reform their institution’s curriculum with evidence of what aspiring artists need to advance in rapidly changing arts fields

n compare experiences at their institutions to those at similar institutions to identify relative strengths and challenges

n strengthen alumni engagement and support

n clarify what their alumni learned as students and how they have used this in both arts and non-arts contexts

n address the career needs of their students and alumni

n enhance their institution’s recruitment, public relations, marketing, strategic planning, and development efforts

n provide evidence of the value of an arts education and alternative measures of success, including school and work satisfaction, for alumni working both inside and outside the arts

some Uses of snaaP Data

Your SNAAP data are rich grounds for insights and inquiry. Some lines of inquiry include:

~ How relevant are the skills and training that alumni received at your school to their current work, whether as artist, doctor, lawyer, teacher, or in any other occupational role?

~ How satisfied are your alumni with various aspects of their experience at your institution in respect to its perceived strengths and weaknesses?

~ How do your graduates think your school could have better prepared them for work or further education?

~ What additional degrees, in which fields, and from what types of institutions, did your alumni pursue after graduation?

~ What alternative measures of alumni success, such as levels of satisfaction with current primary jobs, would provide useful information for your institution?

~ How important are the arts in the lives of your alumni who are not currently working as artists?

~ What barriers do your graduates face as they pursue work, and how can your institution better support the careers of its alumni?

survey Data and Methodology

A total of 242,276 individuals with arts degrees from 51 institutions were invited to participate in SNAAP 2015. Of this population, 39,574 alumni of all ages responded to the online survey.1

Approximately 77% of respondents had undergraduate arts degrees, and 23% were graduate-level alumni.

SNAAP is committed to assisting institutions in locating as many arts alumni as possible for invitation to take the survey. Most participating institutions take advantage of an online service offered through SNAAP to “find” lost alumni. In 2015, the SNAAP survey was completed by 3,068 previously “lost” alumni, representing about 8% of total respondents.

The average institutional response rate for SNAAP 2015 institutions was 18%. The highest institutional response rate was 33%, and six out of seven institutions achieved a response rate of 12% or higher.

1 The data throughout this report do not include data from two institutions with non-standard survey administrations.

The aggregate (“All SNAAP”) results presented in this Institutional Report are from 46 institutions in the US and five in Canada that participated in SNAAP 2015. Figures 1 and 2 provide an overview of the types of institutions that participated in SNAAP 2015. A large percentage of special-focus institutions participated in 2015 through a partnership with the Association for Independent Colleges of Art & Design (AICAD).

topical Modules

Participating institutions can append an additional question set in the form of a topical module. In 2015, 94% of institutions selected Career Skills & Entrepreneurship and 14% chose Internships (four institutions administered both modules).

Institutions can also choose to have their data broken out by major or groups of majors, in addition to their aggregate Institutional Reports.

reliability of institutional Data

Alumni surveys present particular challenges in terms of response rates. It is difficult for institutions

to keep their alumni files current, especially with email addresses. About 60% of the alumni records submitted to SNAAP include an email address. The email addresses that are submitted may or may not be current.

The SNAAP research team has studied the issues of bias and response representativeness. A study based on a SNAAP field test did not discover significant biases that would prevent schools from drawing conclusions from their data. Furthermore, a 2014 publication using SNAAP data found that respondents to alumni surveys are just as representative as respondents to student surveys, which are commonly used for purposes of assessment.

In addition to your Institutional Report’s statistical data, the open-ended Alumni Comments provide unedited, qualitative feedback from graduates that can illuminate your findings.

Group Name: Selection Method:

The SNAAP Institutional Report displays your institution’s results along with three comparison groups. Your institution had the option of selecting two comparison groups; those two groups could be pre-formed by SNAAP or created and named by your institution. You could select majors and institutions with which to compare your data. The third comparison group is composed of all SNAAP schools (all majors included) at the appropriate level (high school, undergraduate, or graduate). A complete list of institutions that participated in SNAAP in 2015 can be found in Section 1.

error reported here represents all respondents. Individual questions may have different sampling errors based on those who respond to the question.e Count and percent of total respondents within each category.

a Sample size is adjusted for alumni with undeliverable e-mail addresses.

b Includes those who both fully and partially completed the questionnaire.

c Response rate is the number of respondents divided by adjusted sample size. For those with multiple reports, response rates by level/major are based on school-

d Sampling error is an estimate of the margin by which the true response on a given item could differ from the reported response. To interpret the sampling error,

assume that 60% of your alumni reply "very satisfied" to a particular item. If the sampling error is +/-5%, then the true population value is most likely between

55% and 65%. Results may still not represent "true" values for all alumni when response rate is very low and nonrespondents are markedly different than

reported information (if available). Alumni for whom major was not provided are not included in response rates or reports (except reports that include all majors).

Comparison Groups The number and percentage of alumni at all institutions in each of the three comparison groups. The first two columns are selected groups and the third is all SNAAP schools at this level. All three comparison groups exclude your alumni. For more details regarding institutions included in each column, see your "Comparison Group" Report.

Topic Area Each section represents a different topic area of the SNAAP Questionnaire.

Your Respondents The number and percentage of your alumni selecting a certain response for each

question.

Variable

These variable names are labels assigned to each survey question in the data set. The variable name allows easy reference to the Codebook, which includes each variable name, the complete questions asked, the response options available, and the logic determining which alumni received each question.

Questions An abbreviated version of the questions on the SNAAP Questionnaire.

Response Options Response options for each particular question.

Dashes For questions where alumni could check more than one response option, dashes are used because percentages can total more than 100%.

Italicized Response Options Due to the dynamic nature of the SNAAP Questionnaire, not all alumni received every question. This italicized line (or lines) indicates the number and percentage of alumni who did not receive the question and why they did not receive it. For more detailed information on why they did not receive each item, please see the Codebook.

Education Level Your report is representative of a specific education level (High School, Undergraduate, or Graduate).

Skipped Numbers This indicates open-ended questions which can be found in the "Alumni Comments" Report or demographic items found on the "Respondent Characteristics" Report.

How to Interpret Percentages All percentages are presented as the percent of all alumni at a given education level, including those that did not receive the question. For example, here we might say that 9% of all Sample Institution's undergraduate alumni practice art in their personal time several times a month. This includes the 23% that did not receive the question because they do not make or perform art in their personal time. Frequencies for some questions (marked with footnote "c") have been reproduced with only those respondents who received the question. These can be found in the "Data Highlights" Report.

2015 Current Never Never I think it would have been very beneficial for the campus to have provided some leadership role

experience.

2015 Current Never Never Providing more real projects, especially collaborative ones. I think teaching students in the fine art programs more business related things will help them succeed more after graduating. collaborate more between majors as well... everyone graduates and then they have no idea how to work with other people who think differently or how to professionally present themselves.

2015 Never Never Never Made the opportunities well known. There were a lot of thing that went on that I never knew about until I heard about it from another student after the event already happened.

2014 Current Current Current Networking, internships and teaching opportunities would have helped me tremendously.2014 Current Never Current Some kind of money management class2014 Current Never Never We did little to no training on websites and web work. This was a huge disservice in my opinion.2013 Current Current Never I'm still unsure what careers I could pursue.2013 Current Past Never Providing a broader scope of ways to apply my degree, as well as courses throughout all 4 years dedicated

to building a business as an independent artist.2013 Current Never Never Provided me more opportunities, and most importantly prepared me to work within the community.2013 Past Past Never teach how to market, price your work. teach a proper way of writing a art CV or resume instead of just

giving a outline and we just guess. Also schedule more advanced classes second semesters for those who want to learn as much as possible in there field of study instead of putting more advanced students in remedial classes. plus offer more variety in ones field of study.

2013 Past Never Never I think we could have been better prepared for the real world, and with prospective jobs. I also felt like there could have been an even further push for developing a portfolio to which we could use for potential graduate applications as well as getting into galleries. There weren't many resources-at least not to my knowledge, for gallery shows. It seemed you had to work for the school or it's gallery to get a show, or know the right person to get a show at a gallery, which was made hard for a transfer student to know exactly who to turn to when needing resources. There could be more resources available to the students, after all, I am working on paying off my $60,000 of debt-the least the school can provide is a prospective job after college.

2013 Never Never Never I was disappointed with the lack of support in finding a career after I graduated. I ended up going through a friend that went to AI and their career services helped me find opportunities.

2012 Current Never Past Learn how to create a website. Learn how to make connections and sell your work. Figure out ways to apply your degree in the real world. Business classes so you know how to make money as an artist, and run your own business. Start doing all these things from sophomore year, not just the last semester of your last year, and have it crammed alongside your thesis class. It needs to be a required separate class that your build upon over the years.

2012 Current Never Never Higher academic standards. More career advising. Pay your faculty more so they can spend more time focusing on students

2011 Current Never Never More help finding work opportunities in my field. More after college access to improving technical skills using computer applications related to my field.

2011 Current Never Never better career services2010 Current Never Never More experience doing the work of not just a designer but as an art director.2010 Current Never Never More technical training2010 Never Never Never how to present yourself professionally, take more leadership2009 Current Past Current While I'm not taking a long time to complete this survey, I've long since felt that there should have been

full courses on grant writing [how to find, how to write, and actually obtaining one], acquiring residencies, how to get a show [the ins, outs, etc - simply visiting a gallery was not enough], and a running a small business course. An internship should absolutely be required - perhaps even two. In addition, a website course and how to maintain a decent online presence, especially in today's technological world, should be a MUST. The school in almost no way set us up for success after graduation.

2007 Current Past Past This is a hard question considering each student gets to choose their own courses. Right now, I am an artist. I like being an artist, but I have a hard time being anything else because I don't have any real skills. I wish the sculpture and technology classes would have been more important and mandatory while I was in attendance. I believe there has been more of a focus on technology over the part 5 years though.

2007 Current Never Never Could've spent some time actually teaching students the right way to operate design software…instead of "here's the project".."here are some artists to look at"…"figure it out". I did..but I learned ALOT the wrong way. When I got to the real world, I was embarrassed of my "technique". Also…some financial planning would've been helpful. It would've been nice to learn while in school how to survive on basically minimum wage (once the monthly loans are paid).

2006 Past Never Past Real-world career training would have been useful.2006 Never Never Never Making a living with your work in any way other than as an artist was looked down upon by some teachers.

Mostly it was the adjunct teachers that had real insights and advice into how to make a living creatively. I had no idea what to do when I graduated and fell back to my skills in tech and writing.

2005 Past Current Never Support for applying the creative self to life after school- developing the entrepreneur2005 Never Past Past access to a wider breath of non art related courses would have been nice2003 Never Never Never Teach students how to better sell themselves and their work and how to survive in the real world. I wish

they were more organized, selective, and challenging. I wish the school encouraged healthy competition and hard work - it was so easy to coast by in classes and there was a lot of "talking" and not a lot of "doing." It was a great little community with a lot of potential but they really did not teach real world skills such as business and financial management, entrepreneurship, sales and marketing. Very few of my classmates are actually working as artists today - most had to find work in other areas to make ends meet. That is really sad, especially when compared to more competitive successful schools, whose graduates are killing in it the art world.

2000 Current Past Never Pairing students with alumni and other professionals.2000 Never Never Current More rigorous non-art classes.1998 Past Never Past Opportunity to spread my wings, not just fill in instructors blanks. No business advice nor how to survive

once you lose your studio and your arts environment.1994 Current Current Current A better digital art program.1992 Current Never Never I was extremely prepared1990 Current Never Current I attended many years ago. The school had very little focus on helping guide people toward a career path. I

was one of the luck ones who made a career in art with my degree. I worked hard at it and met key instructors who had similar careers that allowed me to find my career path. I still help review current student portfolios and give advice to them in any way possible. I do think that school does a great job now of helping students get in front of the right people that can help expose them to options for their career in art.

1989 Current Never Past Actually have someone guide me through the next steps or options for post graduation. And for the teachers to also have that concept - there was just nothing in place at all in 1990. It really upset me and my family at the time.

1988 Past Current Never Computers came aboard the year that I graduated, 1988. Technology came on so strong and quick, I was in the right place, wrong time! No fault of the school.

1986 Past Current Past Assistance with housing1985 Current Never Past Better instructors. They need to show up for class and know everyone's names that are in the class.

1984 Never Never Never I do wish there had been more on career choices in my major. There was no discussion (that I can remember) of what other options I had besides becoming a fine arts artist. I graduated 30 years ago so I'm sure this has changed but there really was no other discussion other than somehow miraculously being discovered by some gallery.

1978 Current Past Never I graduated a long time ago, so my experience is not very relevant to current or recent students. As you can see from this survey, most of these extra things were not done, taught or offered as an option. At the time, they did a relatively good job, but they didn't do enough copywriting or advertising concept work. That hurt me in the beginning of my career. There were no computers in general use at the time, so the work I do now bears almost no resemblance to what I did in school.

1977 Current Never Never I did not want to graduate. I wanted to stay there and take more classes.1976 Current Never Never Any internship with an artist or an artistic community would have been valuable.1976 Past Past Never There was no career guidance. I was not prepared to enter the workforce using my degree. There was

little guidance in continuing my education.1971 Current Past Never Writing-reading, ecology, sciences.1967 Current Never Past I think I was well prepared for my career.1963 Past No Response Never I graduated 50 years ago, however, I discovered as time passed I had received a very good education in the

fine arts. I had been prepared to enter the field of Interior Design with a firm foundation. I successfully worked for 20 years.

2015 Current Never Never Everything that I studied in school is being applied to my current work.2015 Never Past Past Learning to write through research assignments/thesis project helped me become a better writer, which is

what I am doing now, not really super creative (more related to marketing)

2015 Never Never Never I'm a designer and I got my degree in design2014 Current Never Never It's relevant since I still make 2d images.2014 Never Past Never I teach preschool, so while my art is not related to my job, I do indeed have to incorporate quick and

creative problem-solving, and creative thinking into creating weekly lesson plans for a primarily-visual and verbal education for the kids.

2014 Never Never Never I am passing my knowledge of Design to a younger generation.2013 Current Past Past My final portfolio upon graduation has been the most relevant in my work. My art history education has

also equipped me references and guidance for information.2013 Current Never Never Knowledge of computer programs and workflow are essential.2013 Never Current Current I work with computers but assist artists daily.2013 Never Never Never Critical thinking, research, visual thinking, creative problem-solving all are part of my work as a teacher.

2013 Never Never Never My arts training prepared me for work in comics, illustration, and various design arts fields. I work in a library. They are unrelated.

2011 Current Current Past I needed my undergraduate training to give me all the pieces and ideas that could be. It helped me develop my own interests and see how those interests might work within the arts community. At the time, I was frustrated with a lack of emphasis on technical skill, but now I see that I really had a good balance between self-expression, self-motivation, and technical teaching.

2011 Current Never Never My arts training gave me skills in thinking about art and understanding art history and art in the world around me.

2011 Current Never Never I was trained in graphic design, which evolved into my user experience design work. A large majority of my learnings from college was relevant to user experience design AND graphic design work.

2010 Current Never Never Being able to talk about images is extremely important in my current work. Understanding visual elements and communicating them to clients/art directors etc. allows me to do my job successfully.

2010 Never Never Never I work as a preparator for two gallery's and part time at an art store. My background at art school helps a little, but common sense and knowing the right people got me the jobs.

2009 Past Past Past I create furniture from wood and I create paintings (acrylic).2008 Current Current Past I work in restaurant management but the ability to work with different personalities/character types as well

as the project management gained from my arts training is hugely important, as is the ability to think creatively/abstractly to problem solve.

2006 Past Past Never I work in marketing and creativity is very important.2005 Past Current Current The ability to problems solve and think critically/creatively (which I gained at my school) is very relevant

to my current work, artistic training/technique is not.2003 Current Past Never My overall arts training has been used throughout my career. Sometimes its unclear how but all of the

training manifests into confident actions while problem solving and creating. I did learn a great deal in school but I feel like I learned more outside of school working. Whether it was for another artist, prop building, hanging artwork, working construction, or selling vegetables in a farmers market, I found that what I learned could and should be used in the creation and selling of my art. I do think that the department should talk about and offer classes on how to support oneself via making and selling art after school. Its a mystery that seems to be different for every artist but with a little guidance it may not seem so scary.

2002 Current Current Never technical skill, community based studio practice2000 Never Never Current Problem solving, defending choices, working with others, development of new programs/ideas1998 Never Past Past completely relevant as I use my knowledge of photography and Photoshop constantly1994 Current Current Current I trained in digital arts in its infancy.

I am making a successful career as a painter and sculptor.1990 Past Never Current Mostly critical thinking skills.1984 Never Never Never I currently work as an office assistant at an art school so being knowledgeable about different areas of art

and different mediums is very helpful.1981 Past Never Past As a residential builder and remodeler it is important to follow plans, design on the fly and work

successfully when unforeseen circumstances arise.1976 Current Past Never Art history is your friend! Design skills! Imagination!1974 Past Never Never My arts training taught me how to SEE and how to LOOK and think. The critique sessions were also

invaluable. My training is very relevant to my work today many years later.1971 Current Past Never a critical eye1967 Current Never Past I am now retired, but I use my design and writing skills constantly in civic, genealogical, and patriotic

organizations.1960 Current Past Past Having a degree in Advertising Design gave me a firm understanding of organizing the picture plane. This

ability carried over into every aspect of my production rather in flat, relief or sculpture 'planes'.

2015 Current Past Never My school taught me how important it is to stay involved in the arts community and go to gallery openings,

etc.2015 Current Never Never I think my school needs to improve on students participation in civic and community life. Any projects that

involved this were all self-initiated.2015 Never Past Past I am a political activist artist, engaging my community is motive #1. My school has not really helped me to

engage my community except those within that institution2013 Current Past Past My participation in the community has mostly been self-driven. Specific teachers guided me in the right

directions for what outlets to seek, but otherwise personal involvement in a community is something one has to be motivated to seek and stay present in.

2015 Current Never Never More lectures and more workshops. There are PLENTY of people in the community that could provide

lectures or workshops. Network these alumni with current students. You're using upperclassmen as mentors for the underclassmen, but what about the upperclassmen? They need mentors too! I think that's all I can think of at the moment. I love the school and I'm glad I went there, but I think there's a lot of things we can improve on. If you have any questions or would like to talk to me more, please feel free to reach out.

2014 Current Never Never Lack of finances during my school career did impact my ability to pursue things like internships and study abroad.

2014 Current Never Never As a student I felt a lack of support from the administrative offices. To get anything answered was a nightmare, and you were sent from office to office with no idea how to get anything done. I left school with one singe math credit remaining because every time I tried to figure out how to get that one credit covered no one could help me with it.

2011 Current Never Never Like many students my student loan debt prevents me from getting ahead in life. Its so massive I don't know how I will ever pay it off, especially with the interest added on. It make a huge chunk of any income and will for possibly the rest of my life. This is unacceptable and students need a solution to this problem.

2010 Current Past Never When it asked if I pursued any other education, so far I have not, but I am planning to obtain a Masters starting next year. In a related field: Architecture. I think my Bachelors prepared me well for this next step.

2010 Current Never Never I feel the promotion of alumni events is solely focused on fine artists and does little to promote designers who are making big waves creating commercials, books, magazines, branding programs, websites and so on. I would like to hear about an alum's design successes.

2007 Current Current Never also inform art students of the importance of social media today. Its an ever growing tool to increase ones publicity in the world, Free too!!!

2007 Current Never Never This was a wonderful school, and I appreciated my time there. It is difficult to recommend art school (or, really undergraduate degrees in general) to anyone due to the cost, but it was a very valuable experience and made a big impact in my life. When I entered the school I understood that it would be difficult to make a career in the arts, and that has certainly been my experience. Ultimately I think that any kind of decision about going to art school or making art is something that has little to do with finances - basically due to a lack of overall societal support for the arts. I don't regret going to art school and I'm happy that I am continuing my studio practice.

2005 Current Current Never The quality of education I received was high, but more structure would have helped me in my approach to further education and work.

1994 Current Current Past The survey failed to take into consideration that college level instructors essentially have two full-time occupations that overlap on a regular basis. We are educators and working artist and devote equal amounts of time to both

1992 Current Current Never It took twenty years of steady, patient persistence as a studio artist before my work was recognized. Over the past decade, I've seen two books of my art published, consistent gallery representation, and my work going into corporate and museum collections. And all this while teaching full time. One has to take the long view, and believe in the work beyond any commercial or professional aspirations, even as one pursues those goals.

1989 Current Never Past hope this helps others and that is why I filled this out.1988 Current Past Never Yes. I am GLAD that this survey is being done. 1986 Past Current Past My educational experience was satisfying and prepared me to be successful. Unfortunately, finding

employment can be a difficult task and any assistance the school could give students in this area would be a great benefit to them.

1982 Never Past Current Artists should help one another and not be in opposition to or competition with one another. Many significant and door opening experiences/opportunities have come through the strength of an artists' group, non-profit artist run gallery or artists' cooperative. While not all best opportunities have emerged through those sources, the artists and organizations I have known or been a part of have served a supportive role in my development and confidence as an artist who exhibits and sells her work.

1980 Never Past Never More follow-up from teacher advisers would've probably been helpful.1974 Never Current Past The faculty were caring and concerned about individual students. I still have fond memories of their

support, even when my projects were not up to the level expected. They were tough, but caring.

1972 Current Past Past This was a serious art school...I still have a lot of respect for it and do appreciate my time there.1949 Never Never Never I started with very little education, that did not prevent me from succeeding. I was determined to succeed.

I had faith that my life would be better and different and it is.

SNAAP 2015 Recent Graduates Frequency Report • Arts Engagement

Understanding the Recent Graduates Frequency ReportThe Recent Graduate Frequency Report contains responses for questions with fixed response options from your most recent alumni. SNAAP

defines "recent alumni" as those who graduated in the last 5 years for postsecondary institutions, and in the last 10 years for arts high

schools. For more detailed information on the questions, the Codebook contains a complete list of variables, survey questions, response

options, and the logic used to determine which alumni received each question.

Comparison Groups The number and percentage of recent alumni at all institutions in each of the three comparison groups. The first two columns are selected groups and the third is all SNAAP schools at this level. All three comparison groups exclude your recent alumni. For more details regarding institutions included in each column, see your "Comparison Group" Report.


Your Respondents The number and percentage of your recent alumni selecting a certain response for each

question.

Variable




Dashes For questions where recent alumni could check more than one response option, dashes are used because percentages can total more than 100%.




How to Interpret Percentages All percentages are presented as the percent of all recent alumni at a given education level, including those that did not receive the question. For example, here we might say that 9% of all Sample Institution's undergraduate recent alumni practice art in their personal time several times a month. This includes the 23% that did not receive the question because they do not make or perform art in their personal time. Frequencies for some questions (marked with footnote "c") have been reproduced with only those respondents who received the question. These can be found in the "Data Highlights" Report for all

2015 Any financial planning, or Portfolio creating training

2015 I know the teachers that I had made sure that I received the right training or assistance, but I know many students that

did not. Teach students how to market themselves, encourage the networking, collaboration, and getting them

involved with the community.

2014 Marketing and business training, and financing.

2014 Applying for grants/grant writing

Website building

Networking

Essentially, there was no emphasis on how to "play the game." The picture painted was the utopian idea of the artist,

not the hustle/rejection/ the flip side and hardships of being an artist, that should have been the emphasis, that this

career path is difficult and does not only revolve around making work/practice but ability to entice others, "paint

yourself to draw people closer."2013 Community engagement

2013 I've pretty much figured things out on my own, from being out in the real world.

2013 When I have a goal I'm very good at dedicating myself to accomplish that goal, but it's hard to set a goal in the first

place. I have done a little marketing of my artwork but I have never been very successful. I am good at public

speaking and talking about my work but not great at finding venues to do that. I am good at keeping a budget and

saving money but not always good at knowing how to raise money apart from working my regular job and I'm not

always sure what all to include in a budget. I'd love to learn more about legal and tax issues because those are both

complicated things that I know almost nothing about. I really want to finish building my studio but it's hard when at

times it seems pointless.2013 Filing taxes as an artist!

2012 A business class or arts management workshop

2011 Any career advising would help. ANY.

2007 Arts networking, basics of grant writing, identifying opportunities.

2007 Courses in graphic design, leadership, marketable skills.

2005 Help networking with other professionals OUTSIDE of my school's community and grant writing/management. Also,

more information on how to manage student loan debt.

2003 It would be nice to have the opportunities for continuing education during the summer months. I don't have the

inclination or resources to do an MFA degree at this time.

2001 Maybe access to a network for exhibition opportunities?

1997 Job placement for alumni. Networking events and job fairs to become gainfully employed in our chosen creative

field.

respondents on the survey measures. Such differences are unknown, so caution is advised when interpreting and drawing conclusions from the results. The sampling

error reported here represents all respondents. Individual questions may have different sampling errors based on those who respond to the question.e Count and percent of total respondents within each category.

a Sample size is adjusted for alumni with undeliverable e-mail addresses.

b Includes those who both fully and partially completed the questionnaire.

c Response rate is the number of respondents divided by adjusted sample size. For those with multiple reports, response rates by level/major are based on school-

d Sampling error is an estimate of the margin by which the true response on a given item could differ from the reported response. To interpret the sampling error,

assume that 60% of your alumni reply "very satisfied" to a particular item. If the sampling error is +/-5%, then the true population value is most likely between

55% and 65%. Results may still not represent "true" values for all alumni when response rate is very low and nonrespondents are markedly different than

reported information (if available). Alumni for whom major was not provided are not included in response rates or reports (except reports that include all majors).

Aggregate

Understanding the Frequency ReportThe Frequency Report contains questions with fixed response options. For more detailed information, the Codebook contains a complete

list of variables, survey questions, response options, and the logic used to determine which alumni received each question.

Comparison Groups The number and percentage of alumni at all institutions in each of the three comparison groups. The first two columns are selected groups and the third is all SNAAP schools at this level. All three comparison groups exclude your alumni. For more details regarding institutions included in each column, see your "Comparison Group" Report.


Your Respondents The number and percentage of your alumni selecting a certain response for each

question.

Variable




Dashes For questions where alumni could check more than one response option, dashes are used because percentages can total more than 100%.




How to Interpret Percentages All percentages are presented as the percent of all alumni at a given education level, including those that did not receive the question. For example, here we might say that 9% of all Sample Institution's undergraduate alumni practice art in their personal time several times a month. This includes the 23% that did not receive the question because they do not make or perform art in their personal time. Frequencies for some questions (marked with footnote "c") have been reproduced with only those respondents who received the question. These can be found in the "Data Highlights" Report.

2015 Current Current Never Offer more classes in business and development skills related to being an artist.2015 Current Past Past Business management, professional development, gallery and community connections, transitional

opportunities between MFA and professional career2015 Current Never Current Business classes at the graduate level would be great.2015 Never Never Current More practical classes would have been better - museum practice, how galleries actually work, general

overviews of art business world.2014 Current Current Current Better thesis preparation in graduate courses2014 Current Current Never More classes to prepare for being a teacher.2014 Never Never Current More could be done for art history majors in terms of providing support, as well as resources to connect

students with internships, writing opportunities, symposia, etc. Even an online database would have been a great help.

2013 Current Current Current Classes involving practical problem solving for translating my portfolio into dealing with the "real world" of approaching curators and galleries. Classes about strategies for presenting work. These seem to have come about in the past couple of years since I've graduated which is great.

2012 Past Current Current Better career assistance and preparation. Additionally, I had no academic advising, was not assigned an advisor, and had to take charge of my own educational planning. I feel that the school needs to think more about students who have financial need, rather than give financial aid to students that already have the financial ability to pay. When trying to get assistance from financial aid, they shrugged their shoulders and said 'good luck' and that was it. Pretty lame if you ask me, when you're considering that students aren't just paying for tuition and books, but materials as well. Part-time jobs don't cut it, and if you really want to develop artists, you can't just develop the rich artists with trust funds.

2010 Past Past Past For my graduate degree, it was extremely beneficial as I was working towards a Masters of Art in Teaching and working in the classroom as a visual art teacher at the same time. It was great and directly transferable. As an undergraduate, I felt ill prepared for what my options were as a working artist which is why I gravitated to teaching. Perhaps insight and direct one-on-one preparation and brainstorming with what my options were, as well as, information on how to look for work.

2009 Current Current Past Graduate students are responsible for their education, the school is their to offer a support network, I don't always feel like the community was being fostered.

2008 Current Current Never exhibition preparation, approaching galleries and museums2007 Current Current Past Have more scholarships and financial aid, better housing help.2005 Past Past Current More focus on the development of my individual artistic practice and how to sustain it after graduate

school.2004 Current Current Past Provided many more opportunities to work with the community. Provide training in job prep and

networking opportunities. The graduate directors often have preferential treatment to those students they "liked" to work with visiting artists....this should have been a rotating process so all grad students could have had this opportunity.

2004 Current Never Current Provide more opportunities to gain solid teaching experience.1996 Current Current Past More interaction with professional artists1994 Current Current Current Contact and networking after graduation1994 Past Past Never More options for jobs after school for fine art majors1989 Current Past Never Not charge so much tuition, or give a break to students, like myself, single, with two children and no child

support.1981 Current Past Never I had no career advice re: gallery sales. I learned to teach by watching teachers, but had no real discussion

about the art of teaching. I honestly had no information re: making a living as an artist other than teaching. I graduated in 1981. I taught for 30 years.

1970 Past Past Past Project grants would have helpful.

2015 Current Never Current I continually critique freelance illustrators' work for my company. I manage artists, so I understand

timelines and logistical problems they come across.2015 Current Never Past Arts training is definitely relevant to my current work, I am working as an interior designer, conceptually

trying to implement the principle freedom which I got through art.2015 Never Never Never I stock produce in a big box store. What I did get from my education is an extremely high work ethic and a

very disciplined work. Critical thinking skills, and organizational skills are used in my section at work, working with others and the ability to clearly convey instructions from one employee to another. My place of employment does provide work in photography, it is a matter of waiting for an opportunity to open up.

2014 Current Past Past I am a freelance writer and media artist outside of my day job.2014 Past Current Past I'm in musicology. Critical theory and performance studies is relevant to my work.2014 Never Never Current I currently own and operate an art gallery, for which my education was fairly relevant, although more

training in business, sales and collector relations would have actually been a lot more helpful than theory. I also work full time at a tech company, which actually funds my art gallery, and that job is not art-related whatsoever.

2011 Current Past Never My career is inclusive of arts and humanities, so while it can be more research heavy at times, there is a balance of art and design in there as well.

2010 Past Past Past It is not relevant for my current career though I have intentions of becoming an art instructor again in the K-12 arena. Most of my artistic exploration is for my own personal pleasure.

2010 Never Never Current I would not have been eligible for my current job without an MA degree.2007 Past Never Current As a curator and owner of a small gallery, my arts education is more broadly applied than if I were

engaged in my personal artistic practice as a photographer.2005 Past Past Current My training in the arts gives depth of context to my work and helps me connect with students and assist

them in achieving their goals.

2004 Current Past Never It is totally relevant in many ways. Obviously the technical skills I learned paved the way for me to move further into the development world. The creative education has helped me many ways, and has made me more valuable in many ways as well. I work in a world full of engineers. My creative education gives me a very unique perspective that many coworkers don't have. Artist can be flexible and adaptable. This has allowed me to come up with solutions to solve problems that other engineers couldn't, because the solution was outside the box. My education has also made me valuable because I can bring style and usability to websites and applications that those around me can't.

2002 Past Past Past My school taught me to think outside of the box, how to take any feedback and make it positive/useful and be clear in communication. As the Director of Development for a large healthcare provider that is a local non-profit , being able to solve problems uniquely and think of alternative solutions is essential. Being able to hear complaints from our community about services and care, and finding a way to use this information to better our programs is key. And being able to clearly express my perspective on any given topic, and most importantly, being able to HEAR someone else's perspective and consider it has been valuable. My education comes in handy every day in my non related art career. Thinking in 2D and 3D isn't just for painting and sculpture; it is essential in critically thinking about the world and jobs we do as well. Identifying the many layers that go into any project and being able to explain and hear the many different perspectives of each layer is a skill that is rarely taught in a classroom. I learned this skill from my classes, where our professors challenged every idea we had, and challenged us to develop each idea more.

1997 Current Past Past Creative problem solving, collaboration, keen understanding of the elements of design, and technological skills are very important in my job

1995 Past Never Never Graphic design is a critical piece of my role in marketing and sales. Plus, study in 3d/industrial design has been critical to product management.

1989 Current Past Never I am an editor of a magazine and I also write for it. I participate actively on the design and focus of the magazine.

1985 Current Current Never Eyes and hand skills. Photos altered in editing. Teaching ceramics

1970 Current Past Past I learned problem solving, which I apply daily.

2015 Current Past Past Understanding current arts climate and contemporary issues, ability to critique multiple forms of arts,

critical thinking skills and verbal communication, ability to bring groups together, leaderships skills.

2015 Never Never Never Fostering a healthy appetite and appreciation for the arts, in all their forms.2014 Current Current Current It has made me aware of the integral role we play in our communities not just as artists but what art does to

bring communities together.2014 Current Current Never I now know a lot of people in the arts community, so I participate more fully in the local art scene.2014 Never Current Current My arts training is a very significant part of my civic and community life. It helps me engage and

contribute at a high level.2011 Current Past Never It has some influence, but it is minimal at this point2010 Current Past Never My arts training has taught me to keep my eyes open to community events that I wouldn't have noticed.2007 Current Current Past There weren't any aspects of volunteering that were part of the graduate program.2004 Past Current Never I am conscious of the larger picture, but I would not say that civic participation was emphasized at school.

1995 Current Current Current My arts training is only partially relevant, in that it gave me the time to focus on my art, gave me opportunity to make some connections, and steep myself in the arts learning environment. I taught teens through the Summer youth art classes. I have been very determined and very self-disciplined in pursuing the arts in my civic and community life.

1976 Current Current Past I knew I was an artist at age nine. My formal arts training has been just the natural progression of experiences that I needed in my chosen life. I wanted to take four years and think about art. This school was perfect for that goal. In the physicality of the reality of art there and then, I could test my thoughts and "leavings" against clear and unambiguous points of view. All of my life experiences have been relevant. Art is just part of the overall balance of my life, it is an integrated part.

1971 Current Past Current I have become an activist for HIV/AIDS and have produced may fundraising art events for various charities for the last 35 years.

2015 Never Never Current The MA program is really wonderful. We are surrounded by generous, smart, diverse professors and

mentors. I hope that in the future, adjunct faculty is treated more fairly, as those members of the community shaped my experience and I would hate for the school to lose them.

2014 Past Never Never Please help find the needs of the students instead of waiting for the students to fit into the school's policy and community on their own.

2010 Past Past Past Though I am no longer engaged in activities that began my educational path as an undergraduate, there is a thread that weaves together everything I have done. My Masters degree had a much greater impact on my life than my BFA.

2006 Past Past Never Not sure I have any specific feedback now, but I appreciate the opportunity to share. It was a struggle at first to recognize that though I was focused on starting a career in art, between family and the reality of student loans that idea just wasn't going to be sustainable for long. It was great to get nice feedback from a generation of artists in their 50s and 60s, but pretty disheartening to realize that we are the generation footing the bill for their cheap low cost-of-living decades prior.

2004 Past Current Never Artists by their nature are terrific problem solvers and this actually makes them employable in a wide range of fields - but they need to understand how to access those options.

2002 Never Never Never I paid off my student loans this last year. The choices I made after I graduated were exactly that... I had choices about what to do about my finances. Ultimately I don't regret having finished an MFA as there is no price really for the abstract values I recovered during my time there. I do think that the ideal of being a starving artist sacrificing health care and financial stability should be looked at in a sober manner. It is irresponsible for arts institutions to directly or indirectly foment the ideal of being "discovered" in an art market that uses up and spits out talent like a television game show. Looking back I might have chosen a more affordable public school.

1996 Current Current Past The lasting impact of my education rested in the development and understanding of a philosophical structure. This understanding has been crucial in the development of my art and pedagogy.

1983 Past Current Never I gained a lot of knowledge and critical thinking skills through my graduate studies. I wish I could have been better prepared for the skills needed to survive financially in my fied. However, I am very happy in my present situation, teaching full-time and being an artist on my own time.

Understanding the Recent Graduates Frequency ReportThe Recent Graduate Frequency Report contains responses for questions with fixed response options from your most recent alumni. SNAAP

defines "recent alumni" as those who graduated in the last 5 years for postsecondary institutions, and in the last 10 years for arts high

schools. For more detailed information on the questions, the Codebook contains a complete list of variables, survey questions, response

options, and the logic used to determine which alumni received each question.

Comparison Groups The number and percentage of recent alumni at all institutions in each of the three comparison groups. The first two columns are selected groups and the third is all SNAAP schools at this level. All three comparison groups exclude your recent alumni. For more details regarding institutions included in each column, see your "Comparison Group" Report.


Your Respondents The number and percentage of your recent alumni selecting a certain response for each

question.

Variable




Dashes For questions where recent alumni could check more than one response option, dashes are used because percentages can total more than 100%.




How to Interpret Percentages All percentages are presented as the percent of all recent alumni at a given education level, including those that did not receive the question. For example, here we might say that 9% of all Sample Institution's undergraduate recent alumni practice art in their personal time several times a month. This includes the 23% that did not receive the question because they do not make or perform art in their personal time. Frequencies for some questions (marked with footnote "c") have been reproduced with only those respondents who received the question. These can be found in the "Data Highlights" Report for all

Graduate Level

Comment

2015 Entrepreneurial training. How to manage a business, set up finances for a business, etc.

2015 Developing a 3-5 year strategic plan to realize my goals, market and promote my work and my talents, communicate

through and about my work, manage finances, monitor legal and tax issues.

2014 I learned how to be an artist. I didn't learn professional practice.

2014 Definitely PR and communication training. Some work skill training even for working in a museum or gallery

needed. Work opportunities in art world are really few.

2011 Grant writing, residency applications, public art proposals, web design, art handling: i.e. How to make your work

structurally sound and how to package work for shipping.

2008 how to find right opportunities and meet right people

2007 The student loan problem.

2007 How to manage an artistic career, how to network with artists, financial management

2004 Alumni networking beyond my graduating class

2002 I went to graduate school for all the additional education needed in my field

1999 The world changes too quickly. Predicting what would or wouldn't have helped is not so important. What the school

does is important in that it helps you make work that is yours.

1995 I would be interested in grant writing workshops, or access to database of foundations, government or corporate

grants.

1985 Selling on etsy and ebay

1970 When I was in school it was a different world, I was prepared when I got out, but I think it was easier then.
