The 2016/17 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:16/17) is conducted by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES), within the U.S. Department of Education (ED). B&B is designed to follow a cohort of
students who completed the requirements for their bachelor’s degree during the same academic year. Data from
B&B are used to help researchers and policymakers better understand the experiences of bachelor’s degree
recipients in the years following their degree completion. The request to conduct the B&B:16/17 Main Study was
approved in May with the latest change request approved in July 2017 (OMB# 1850-0926 v. 3-5). This requests is
to allow participants to elaborate on their responses in two survey items, begin to offer the abbreviated interview
sooner to some sample members than originally planned, and to use five additional communication materials for
non-respondents.
