Abstract
A 30-item questionnaire completed by 272 psychology graduates from Marquette University, between May 1973 and May 1983, provided an updated evaluation of the undergraduate program. This study investigated: (a) differences between male and female graduates, (b) graduates' evaluation of the psychology curriculum and faculty, and (c) occupational benefits of the psychology major for those who pursued graduate work in psychology or professional fields and for those who sought employment with the terminal bachelor's degree. Results of this study are compared with those of other alumni surveys published between 1961 and 1987.Keywords
