About The Outcomes Data Alumni outcomes data is based on the results of Hofstra’s annual Alumni Outcomes Survey and other reliable sources. LinkedIn was used to track employment information on survey non-respondents. The data collection period for the 2024-2025 Hofstra alumni outcomes was between December 2024 and May 2026. Of the 1,163 graduate students who graduated between August 2024 and May 2025, data was collected via surveys and other reliable sources, resulting in knowledge about the outcomes for 80% of the 24-25 graduate alumni. For the School of Health Sciences, the knowledge rate for 24-25 graduate alumni was 78%. This data uses the best practices recommended by the National Association of Colleges and Employers’ (NACE) First Destination Survey Standards in January 2014. In accordance with those practices, this data uses multiple data sources to understand our graduates' outcomes. The NACE recommended threshold knowledge rate is 65%. The average salary reported is determined by the level at which data may be deemed reliable. Salary data is self-reported voluntarily by students and is based upon an 82% response rate for full-time employed graduate survey respondents. For the School of Health Sciences, the salary response rate was 73%. Salary figures vary from year to year based upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, market conditions as well as the number of graduates reporting salary information to us. In addition, please note that these figures are based solely on information that is self-reported to us by our graduates, and the salary data provided is based on the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by our graduates to us. Salary figures only include annual base salary. They do not include bonus, commission, or any other guaranteed compensation. All data must meet a test of data integrity. The outcomes data reported is determined by the level at which data may be deemed reliable. This data is largely based on the responses of graduates completing Hofstra surveys, not the total number of graduates, and may not be representative of the total graduating population. The economy is constantly changing, and outcomes for past classes are not an accurate predictor of outcomes for future classes. In addition, a degree from Hofstra or any other school is not a guarantee of employment in any field. Some tables may not sum to 100% due to rounding.
