SNAAP research scientist, Angie Miller, at Indiana University Bloomington, used SNAAP data to explore whether exposure to creative coursework during one’s time at their institution was able to predict several different career and arts involvement outcomes for alumni with undergraduate degrees in the arts. This study originated from a presentation in the summer of 2018, at the annual SOU Creativity Conference.  \nThere is considerable evidence concerning the effectiveness of creativity training ( Scott et al., 2004), and studies link the behaviors of teachers or instructors to creative outputs ( Sternberg, 2010) . Research with undergraduate students shows that exposure to creative coursework is a predictor of student engagement in various areas, such as academic challenge, learning with peers, experiences with faculty, and perceptions ofthe campus environment (Miller, 2018) . Given recent discussions in higher education regarding the return-on-investment of a college degree, it is  \n[https://snaaparts.org/findings/databriefs/does-creative-coursework-predict-educational-career-and-community-engagement-outcomes-for-arts-alumni](https://snaaparts.org/findings/databriefs/does-creative-coursework-predict-educational-career-and-community-engagement-outcomes-for-arts-alumni) 1/5  \n11/25/24 , 2:07 PM Does creative coursework predict educational, career, and… | SNAAP  \nimportant to dive into how different aspects of arts education (in this case creative coursework) might predict career outcomes.  \nThis study explored whether exposure to creative coursework during one’s education can influence several different outcomes, including sense of connection to one’s institution, time until first job after graduation, relevance of first job after graduation, relevance of training to current occupation, current income, current occupational field, and arts community involvement. Data from over  \n40,000 undergraduate-level arts alumni from the 2015, 2016, and 2017 SNAAP administrations was used to investigate these potential relationships.  \nTo measure exposure to creative coursework, a set of items was used as a scale. This set of items asked “The coursework at [INSTITUTION] emphasized the following”with response options of not at all, very little, some, and very much.  \ngenerating new ideas or brainstorming  \ntaking risks in your coursework without fear of penalty  \nevaluating multiple approaches to a problem  \ninventing new methods to arrive at unconventional solutions  \nA series of regression models found that creative coursework significantly predicted various desired career and arts-related outcomes. These relationships were apparent even after statistically controlling for gender, race/ethnicity, parent artist status, parent education level, major, overall institutional satisfaction, and self-reported acquired creative thinking.  \n[https://snaaparts.org/findings/databriefs/does-creative-coursework-predict-educational-career-and-community-engagement-outcomes-for-arts-alumni](https://snaaparts.org/findings/databriefs/does-creative-coursework-predict-educational-career-and-community-engagement-outcomes-for-arts-alumni) 2/5  \n11/25/24 , 2:07 PM Does creative coursework predict educational, career, and… | SNAAP  \nFigure 1 Summary of Regression Results  \nIn most cases, exposure to creative coursework was a positive predictor, meaning that the more exposure to creative coursework during time at the institution, the more likely the outcome.
