Helpful Tips for the Interactive Tool:

There is no Enter or Submit Button, results will appear automatically with your selections
The default search setting is ‘All Years’ or ‘All Majors’ and shows results across years and majors
You may choose specific years or majors for more granular results. Uncheck the selected major(s) to reset your search.
The tool returns results with at least five responses, for small majors, choosing ‘All Years’ is more likely to show results
To ensure confidentiality, results are reported in the aggregate and more granular data is not available through this tool.
