Reflections: Alumni Perspectives on their Postsecondary Experiences in Arts and Design

Higher education is amid a period of significant change and perspectives from alumni on their educational experiences can contribute to shaping improved pathways forward. The Strategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP) survey collects data on the perspectives and experiences of alumni from arts, design, and adjacent fields and this report provides insights stemming from the 2022 SNAAP survey data. Specifically, we explore alumni reflections on the quality of their postsecondary arts or design experience and satisfaction with it, connection to their alma mater, and the likelihood of alumni to recommend their alma mater. 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.
