Figure 1. Alumni ratings of core and applied skills, from a survey of students graduated in 2001 (McAuliffe, 2006 survey). Bars represent proportion of respondents (393 in total) rating the perceived importance of core skills (top panel) and applied skills (bottom panel) with respect to their current success (left), and the extent to which they feel these skills developed at Queens College (right). The data pattern is strikingly similar to that for a 1999 survey of over 1500 alumni (McAuliffe, 1999 survey).
