Abstract	The Baccalaureate Graduates Survey (BGS) is part of BC Student Outcomes, which is an ongoing research program that gathers student outcomes information for B.C. public postsecondary institutions and the Province of British Columbia. Since 2000, the BGS has been tracking the outcomes of baccalaureate graduates, both two and five years post-graduation. The 2014 BGS is the 15th annual survey of former baccalaureate graduates. The survey is designed to gather information to meet the following objectives: (1) meet the demand for post-secondary accountability at the system level in B.C.; (2) gather timely and relevant data for use in program evaluation and planning processes at the institution level; and (3) ensure that new, continuing, and prospective students are provided with information they can use to help them make informed decisions about education. These objectives are met through a rigorous process of data collection, data management, and outcomes reporting. Outcomes data are collected from graduates through a mixed mode survey (telephone and web). This report presents a summary of the main findings from the 2014 survey of 2012 baccalaureate graduates. (In 2014, international students were eligible to participate in the survey for the first time.) The two-year-out BGS instrument employs a set of standardized questions. The core questionnaire areas are: (1) Education Evaluation and Skill Development; (2) Participation in Further Education Since Graduation; (3) Labour Market Participation; and (4) Education Financing and Debt. Responses from the survey inform prospective students, enable institutions to evaluate programs more effectively, and ensure post-secondary accountability. [The 2014 Baccalaureate Graduates Survey Report of Findings: The Class of 2012 Two Years After Graduation has been prepared by BC Stats for the BC Student Outcomes Research Forum. The BC Student Outcomes surveys are conducted with funding from the Ministry of Advanced Education, the Industry Training Authority, and the participating British Columbia post-secondary institutions.
