Title : Analysis of the academic and social impact of university graduates. Case study: Institución Universitaria Pascual Bravo - Medellín, Colombia

Abstract :

This paper aims at estimating the academic and social impact of Pascual Bravo University Institution – Medellín graduates through a multivariate analysis. For this, a diagnostic instrument applied to 2,024 graduates and 105 employers was designed. It identified the consistency between the graduates' training profile and their professional activity, the employers’ perception, and the received training quality recognition. The obtained results indicate that Pascual Bravo’s graduates have had a positive impact on their work environments and that the education they received has allowed them to improve their life quality. These results are in accordance with the employers’ opinions. Finally, it is important to highlight that impact studies and follow-up to graduates allow the implementation of curricular improvements or innovations in the academic programs offered by higher education institutions.
