The questionnaire was dividec into four sections: demographic data, assignment/promotion information, education usefulness/job requirements, and an open-end free response question. An analysis of the responses was directed toward determining the graduates' perceptions of the school with regard to: overall usefulness, enhancing promotion chances, supervisor's attitudes, curriculum usefulness, and assignment appropriateness.
