Bill > S1519

This bill requires four-year public and independent institutions of higher education to collect and publicly report employment data for their recent graduates, starting with the 2022-2023 academic year. This employment data will include information on whether graduates are employed in a field related to their major, employed in any field, enrolled in graduate programs, and their salary one year after graduation. Institutions will also need to conduct an annual employment survey of graduates and maintain this data on their websites for four years. The bill also mandates that the Secretary of Higher Education, an official overseeing higher education in the state, will issue guidelines for this data collection and compilation, and will create a comparative profile of this employment information for all institutions. This aims to provide students and their families with more comprehensive information about the post-graduation outcomes of their education.
