2008/18 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:2008/18)
B&B:08/18 is the third nationally representative follow-up of baccalaureate degree recipients during the 2007–2008 academic year, as identified during the 2007–2008 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:08). The second follow-up, B&B:08/12, contacted sample members again during the 2012–13 academic year. The third follow-up, B&B:08/18, contacted sample members during the 2018–2019 academic year. B&B:08/18 gathers information about the employment, education, and other experiences of these individuals during the 10 years after baccalaureate receipt. The eligible sample for B&B:08/18 included just over 17,000 individuals.
