Description

In 2021, the New Brunswick Institute for Research, Data and Training (NB-IRDT) released the first report in a Graduate retention in New Brunswick series. Each year, we use the newest data available to answer a list of research questions, highlighting how results have changed since the last report in the series was released. We ask, for instance:

  • How many students graduate from publicly funded universities in NB, and what percentage remain in NB over time?
  • How do results differ for students from NB, international students and students from other provinces in Canada?
  • Are graduates from certain fields of study more likely to remain in NB than others?
  • Which university has the highest graduate retention rates, and why?

This is the fourth update in the series, and it represents the first time that results for college and university graduates are being presented separately – due to differences in data availability timelines.

This report updates our most recent work (which incorporated results for students who graduated in 2021) by presenting annual results for students who graduated from universities in NB between 2010 and 2022. Results for college graduates are forthcoming in a separate report.
