Summary View help for Summary
The Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study captures information on the transition of bachelor's degree recipients into the labor force, with a focus on recent graduates, particularly young adults under age 25 and those aged 25-29. The study provides insights into various aspects of graduates' experiences, including their employment, education, and certification status. While the sample size for arts graduates is relatively small, the study offers valuable data for understanding educational and employment experiences, and career trajectories of individuals in arts-related fields.
Access to the available public-use data is provided through DataLab. Restricted-use data are also available under restricted-use license.
