UCSB Undergraduate Alumni Tracking
About the Project
The CSEP Alumni Tracking Project tracks students graduating from 2000 - 2018 from the University of California, Santa Barbara. The overall goal of tracking students is to monitor opportunities UCSB provides and the impact on student outcomes.
The data comes from a mix of sources: online - LinkedIn, personal websites, and professional organizations - and UCSB’s own information about students. While not all of the data was accessed through an automated system, some of it required manual revisions to determine if a student’s data is updated. Inevitably, there will exist some type of error -- whether it is a simple misspelling of a word, or perhaps a text string existing in an integer column.
This project provides a unique opportunity to explore data. Here are some possible avenues:
- Outcomes by Major
- Ranking of Graduate Schools UCSB students attend
- Job Opportunities
- Geographical Distribution of Students
- Freshmen vs. Transfer Admit Outcomes
- Greek life vs Non-Greek life Students
- Career outcomes for athletes
- Female athletes in leadership roles
- Students from low-income high schools
- Distribution by undergradute major
- Career outcomes and future earnings
