2023 Graduate Student Insights

The Graduate Student Report

Graduate students are not a homogeneous group. To better understand this population, we issued a survey to gain insights into the personalities, preferences, and motivations of graduate students by narrowing in on the population by degree type, degree delivery format, and field of study.

By knowing more about our graduate student segments we can better attract, engage, and enroll our future graduate and professional classes.

Carnegie issued a survey to a group of 1,300 graduate/professional students and collected both demographic and psychographic data in an effort to better understand their personalities, preferences, and motivations. We are now sharing that data and our insights with you by degree type, degree delivery format, and field of study.
