dc.description.abstract In 2021, East West University (EWU) entered its 25th year of pursuing excellence in higher education. To the best of our knowledge, despite admirable performance by a large share of EWU alumni in their chosen profession, no systematic information is available regarding current and historical performance of EWU alumni. In this research, we surveyed EWU alumni and used this information to develop systematic understanding of EWU graduates’ job market performance. Specifically, we explored three broad areas: (i) reaching the alumni, (ii) developing a comprehensive alumni profile, and (iii) identifying the potential benefits of alumni involvement. A total of 9,329 alumni responses were collected; of these, nearly 74% completed undergraduate degrees at EWU while the rest were graduate alumni. Wherever appropriate, we conducted the analysis by faculty to decouple the differences and nuances among the science, arts and business faculties. We found that nearly 64% of our undergraduate alumni are involved in jobs, 7% are involved in businesses, and an additional 12% are currently full-time students engaged in higher studies. Therefore, around 17% of our undergraduate alumni are currently not involved in jobs or businesses. We learned that about one in every two undergraduate alumni seeking employment found a job within the first three months after graduation. Our results also indicate that EWU alumni are employed in a wide variety of sectors including newly emerging sectors, e.g., e-commerce, business process outsourcing, travel and hospitality, etc. More detailed results and analysis are provided in the report. en_US
