The 2018 Berklee College Of Music’s Undergraduate Exit Survey is in, and Berklee Online has received an unprecedented 97% overall satisfaction from this year’s class of graduating students.
Each year, Berklee’s Office of Institutional Research and Assessment (OIRA) connect with every student graduating from Berklee College of Music, the Boston Conservatory at Berklee, and Berklee Online for the Undergraduate Exit Survey to learn their individual experiences at Berklee and the plans they’ll take with them into their careers and lives.
