The Institute Provides Long-Term Success in Work and Life after College.
In 2014, Gallup and Purdue University performed a national survey to evaluate the correlation of people’s success and happiness within their jobs and lives to their experience with their alma mater. The study listed six claims that were believed to directly correlate with people’s long-term success at work and in life after college. The results indicate that it isn’t just where you go, but the quality of experience at the school you choose that demonstrates success after college. In 2018, the Institute for G.O.D. Int’l participated in the survey.
Results for the Gallup-Purdue Index are based on web surveys conducted Feb. 4 - Mar. 7 2014, with a random sample of approximately 1,557 respondents with an associate’s degree and 29,560 respondents with a bachelor’s degree or higher, aged 18 and older, with internet access, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
