摘要

The 1993/03 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:93/03), sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), U.S. Department of Education, followed a cohort of students who earned bachelors degrees during the 199293 academic year. These students were first interviewed in 1993, as part of the 1993 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:93). A year later, a follow-up interview was conducted (B&B:93/94) and transcripts were collected from students undergraduate institutions and coded, and in 1997, a second follow-up interview was conducted (B&B:93/97). B&B:93/03 is the third and final follow-up interview with the class of 1993. This interview, which took place in 2003, focused on postbaccalaureate education, employment and career development, family formation, and finances. The B&B:93 series of interviews has also included specific sections focused on those bachelors degree recipients who trained to be elementary/secondary teachers (kindergarten through grade 12), and those who have entered or plan to enter teaching, in the first 10 years following bachelors degree award. This report describes the procedures and results of the fullscale implementation of the 1993/03 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:93/03).
