What Recent WU Math Majors Have Planned at Graduation

In spring 1999 we began conducting senior exit interviews with all graduating math majors--to hear their feedback about our program and to find out what their plans were.  (Prior to 1999, students were surveyed rather than interviewed.)  In early April, of course, some students are still uncertain about their plans and in earlier years, many did not respond to our survey.  We have information, though, on the plans at graduation for about 66% of our math major graduates during years 1994-2010.
