Summary View help for Summary
The Strategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP) survey collects data on the perspectives and experiences of alumni from arts, design, and adjacent fields. The 2022 SNAAP survey data offer evidence-based insights to help inform the important work being undertaken by postsecondary institutions offering studies and training in arts and design amid shifts and changes affecting higher education.
SNAAP's national, online survey was launched in 2008 to meet the growing need for reliable alumni outcomes data, as articulated by arts training institutions across the country. The survey draws generalizable insights about "artists" with postsecondary degrees (as defined by Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) codes) in arts, design, and media fields. Alumni of independent arts and design colleges, conservatories, and arts schools and departments within comprehensive colleges and universities are surveyed.
SNAAP's survey was successfully relaunched in 2022 with numerous changes to its design, methodology, and administration. This included a probabilistic sampling frame to ensure a more representative sample; a more inclusive recruitment process to secure a more diverse group of institutions' participation in SNAAP; and a revised survey questionnaire to expand on important substantive areas and improve the respondent's experience completing the questionnaire. The revised questionnaire gave new attention to alumni's "sense of belonging" at their educational institution; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their lives and careers; and paying for postsecondary arts education.
