Helpful Tips for the Interactive Tool:

  • Choose ‘All Years’ or ‘All Majors’ for results across years and majors, or check one for more granular results.
  • The tool will return results with at least five responses, for small majors, choosing ‘All Years’ is more likely to show results
  • Default results will show the most recent Class Year.
  • Uncheck the selected major(s) to reset your search.
  • To ensure confidentiality, results are reported in the aggregate and more granular data is not available through this tool.
