The Graduating Student Questionnaire: An Analysis of Three Years of Use.

Findings included: (1) nearly one-third of students cite work as one of their three most important sources of income; (2) four-fifths were working in their final year of study; (3) while between two-fifths and half of all graduates came to seminary with no prior debt, about one-quarter to one-third came with an educational debt in excess of $15,000; (4) students found field education and internships very helpful; (5) they are satisfied with their schools; and (6) most expect parish ministry to be their first post-seminary position.
