Abstract: This request for OMB approval is to conduct a second follow-up full scale data collection for the Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study of 2008/2012 (B&B:08/12), from July 2012 through March 2013. The primary purpose of the B&B series of studies is to describe the various paths of recent college graduates into employment and additional education. Baseline data for the B&B:08 cohort were collected as part of the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:08). The first follow-up interview (B&B:08/09) collected information from respondents one year after they received their bachelor's degree; the second follow-up (B&B:08/12) will collect data four years after bachelor's degree receipt. Interview data will be supplemented with a variety of administrative data sources, including the Central Processing System (CPS), the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), and the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC).
