Using data from the 2022 Strategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP) survey, the report examines how alumni evaluate the quality and satisfaction of their arts or design postsecondary experience, their sense of connection to their alma mater, and their likelihood to recommend it. Evidence-based findings highlight overall experience ratings, differences by time since degree, and relatively high “excellent” rates across arts education and music programs, including associate or two-year college alumni.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/reflections-alumni-perspectives-on-their-postsecondary-experiences-in-arts-and-design-executive-summary/587074/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/reflections-alumni-perspectives-on-their-postsecondary-experiences-in-arts-and-design-executive-summary/587074.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Fahsai","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-29","2026-10-15",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":24},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What does the report use to explore alumni experiences in arts and design?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The report draws on evidence from the 2022 Strategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP) survey data.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"How do alumni generally rate their overall postsecondary experience?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"Highlights show that 86% of alumni from arts and design programs report having an “excellent” or “good” overall experience.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What does the report assess beyond satisfaction with postsecondary education?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"It also examines alumni connection to their alma mater and the likelihood of alumni to recommend their alma mater.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},587074,1792160873,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":39,"category_name":40,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":29,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145,"preview_page_count":4},549768702563,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/8000c4aa63b76e948b?x-image-process=image/resize,m_fixed,w_180,h_180&k=1786536092046926083","Reflections:  \nJANUARY 2024  \nAlumni Perspectives on  \nTheir Postsecondary Experiences in Arts and Design  \nDr. Jennifer L.
