What is the First Destination Survey?
- The First Destination Survey (FDS) is USD's graduating student survey, a confidential survey - names are not shared with any reporting or analysis
NOTE: The First Destination survey operates on the academic calendar year (summer, fall, spring – in that order) and opens to eligible graduating students in August, November and April. It stays open through December of the spring graduation calendar year, allowing students the opportunity to update their employment status.
The success of this survey allows not only accurate data for reporting purposes, but also provides great information for current students who want to know what kind of employment or advanced degrees new graduates are securing with their respective majors and specializations.
