Final Report: The Diverse Career Paths of Educational Studies Alumni

The Diverse Career Paths of EDST Alumni initiative has released its final report. This report presents the findings of a study conducted as part of the initiative, which surveyed 289 EDST alumni participants across four graduate degrees (PhD, EdD, MA, & MEd) who graduated from 1968 to 2020. The report provides insights into where EDST alumni work, how the EDST programs supported alumni in their diverse careers, and what recommendations alumni have for the department and faculty.
