Lifetime Learning Survey:

METHODOLOGY

During the month of April 1998, Market Research Institute conducted a 7-10 minute telephone interview with college graduates nationwide. To qualify to be interviewed, respondents must have been out of college at least 10 years, be currently working, and under the age of 55. A total of 400 interviews were completed. The sample size of 400 completed interviews provides a 95% +/- 5% confidence level when analyzing the data.

The sample used to complete the surveys was generated by Market Research Institute using random digit dialing across the United States.
