The Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study 2008, Second Follow-Up 2012 (B&B:08/12) is part of the Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B) program. B&B:08/12 (https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/b&b/) is the second follow-up of a longitudinal study that followed a cohort of graduating college seniors who participated in the 2008 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:08). The 2008 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:08) data provided the base-year sample for B&B:08. NPSAS:08 data are representative of all undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in postsecondary institutions in the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico that were eligible to participate in the federal financial aid programs in Title IV of the Higher Education Act, and the B&B cohort is a representative sample of graduating seniors in all majors. Key statistics produced from B&B:08/12 are information primarily about bachelor’s degree recipients’ education and employment experiences. The second follow-up examines their labor market experiences and post-baccalaureate education through the fourth year after graduation.

This dataset includes information from the Postsecondary Education Transcript Study (PETS).

The 2000/01 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:2000/01), conducted by Research Triangle Institute (RTI) and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), follows a cohort of students who were identified as recipients of a bachelor’s degree during the 1999–2000 academic year. This cohort of students was first interviewed in the 1999–2000 cycle of the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:2000), the base-year study for B&B:2000/01. B&B:2000/01, the first and only planned follow-up survey of this cohort, was conducted in 2001. The survey focused on time to degree completion, participation in post-baccalaureate education and employment, and the activities of newly qualified teachers.
