The Senior Survey for Undergraduates

What is it?

Each year, Villanova collects important data from the graduating full-time and part-time undergraduate Seniors through the Senior Survey. Below we outline the purpose of Part I and Part II.

Part I -  The Senior Survey

This year Villanova University is participating in a national study conducted by the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI), University of California, Los Angeles. Undergraduate Seniors will receive an email from the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) with a link directly to The Senior Survey. The web survey will be available for approximately three weeks. We ask that you complete the survey at your earliest convenience once you have received notification to do so. Those who have not complete the online survey will be asked to complete a paper survey at cap & gown pick up.

Accessing Part I

  • Undergraduate Seniors will receive an email from 'CollegeSeniorSurvey@DataRecognitionCorp' on behalf of HERI with the subject: Villanova University Senior Survey Part I.
  • The Senior Survey will be available online until Monday, May 12th at noon.
  • Undergraduates who have not completed the Senior Survey online will complete a paper survey at cap & gown distribution.

Part II of the Senior Survey: Career Services, Job Placement

Part II of the Senior Survey is administered through the Career Services Office here at Villanova. We ask that graduating Seniors complete this survey before academic attire is distributed for graduation.  This survey allows us to report job placement statistics to use for prospective students and parents as well as current students and parents.  This data is used solely for this purpose.

Why we ask for your participation?
The answers that you provide in this survey give us the opportunity to examine our programs and practices.  At Villanova, we strive everyday to better our academic programs, to increase communication between the students and the colleges and University, assess our faculty and classroom experiences and many, many more pieces of input that otherwise might remain unknown.
