The American Geosciences Institute has been conducting the AGI’s Geoscience Student Exit Survey for the past five years. The upcoming Status of the Geoscience Workforce 2018 report will have an analysis of the ve-year trends from the survey.
Have you had the opportunity to explore the American Institute of Professional Geologists' current issue of The Professional Geologist? Among the many articles geared at helping professional geologists, and updated society news, this issue included a story about geologists and regulatory compliance.
For the 2014-2015 academic year, AGI’s Geoscience Student Exit Survey had 692 graduating students from 210 different geoscience programs participate -- 495 bachelor’s graduates, 127 master’s graduates, and 70 doctoral graduates.
The circular1 diagram below displays the connection between the degree fields of recent geoscience graduates (in color) to the industries where these geoscientists found their first job after graduation (in gray). The size of the bars along the outer edge of the circle represent the number of recent graduates that pursued a particular degree eld and entered a particular industry. Each colored, inner ribbon connects a particular degree field with the various industries where graduates found jobs.
