When students entered the program they were not sure what field to use their degree in, with most students given short answers and vauge responces. But the graduation survey showed that most of the graduating students were eventually able to determine where they wanted to use their field of study with specific careers being cited. As far as confidence in student writing, they are more confident in their abilities in their writing when they leave. For Example, they are able to write a 25 page paper, they are able to write a primary research paper, and they are more confident in using their writing in their future profession. Their knowledge of writing scholars also increased, Peter Elbow went from 33% to 100% in student recognition as shown in the two diffrent surveys. I think that the purpose of the program is for students to increase their knowledge on writing,  and to be more adept at writing, and this survey shows they get that out of the program.
