(Senior Survey 2001)
Although only 11% of respondents indicated that full-time graduate study would be their primary activity in the year following graduation, 81% said that they plan to eventually earn a higher degree. (Many students take time off after graduation to work, to volunteer; others combine work with graduate study.)
