The United States Department of Education has a requirement for a large, complex data collection. This data collection, Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study Third Follow-up (B&B:93/2003), is designed to be the third in a series of longitudinal data collection efforts involving graduates from postsecondary education institutions in the 1992-93 academic year. This effort started in 1993 as part of the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:93) and continued through 1997. B&B:93/2003 will collect data elements concerning postsecondary education activities, work force activities, and other experiences of postsecondary education graduates. The method of data collection will be primarily via the web and include self-administered, telephone interview and web field work. Although different modes of collection are anticipated, the system will be web-based. This study will culminate in a descriptive report and documented data files.

The B&B:93 sample is made up of all graduating seniors identified in the 1993 NPSAS sample, a nationally representative sample of all students in postsecondary education regardless of level or institution type. B&B tracks the progress of graduating seniors through graduate education or into the work force. B&B provides information to help assess the value of a student's postsecondary education both to the student and to society. This component will collect information on application to and entry into graduate school and other educational experiences related to persistence and completion, employment during and after PSE completion, and participation in civic responsibilities and family development. Results from this and later efforts will contribute to the comprehensive national database designed to address a variety of policy issues at the postsecondary level.

The work will be monitored by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) within the U.S. Department of Education.
