Graduating SeniorsThe Division of Student Affairs has administered a survey to graduating seniors for over a decade, asking students about their post-college plans and their overall FSU experience. Beginning in fall 2012 in collaboration with Academic Affairs, the survey was added as a graduation requirement, and over 95% of graduating seniors from fall 2012 and spring 2013 completed the survey.

EmploymentData indicate that over half of FSU graduates seeking employment have at least one job offer by graduation and are offered employment in a wide variety of industries.
