The Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B), conducted by the National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES), part of the U.S. Department of Education, examines students’ education and work experiences
after they complete a bachelor’s degree, with a special emphasis on the experiences of K-12 school teachers. The
B&B-eligible cohort is initially identified in the National Postsecondary Study Aid Study (NPSAS). The first cohort
(B&B:93) was identified in NPSAS:93, and consisted of students who received their bachelor’s degree in the
1992–93 academic year. The second cohort (B&B:2000) was selected from the NPSAS:2000, and the third cohort
(B&B:08) was selected from NPSAS:2008, which became the base year for follow-up interviews in 2009 and 2012.
The B&B:08/18 data collection is the third and final follow-up for the third cohort of the B&B series (OMB# 18500729). The fourth cohort of baccalaureate recipients (B&B:16/17), identified in NPSAS:2016, entered full-scale
data collection in 2017 (OMB# 1850-0926). The B&B:08/18 field test was conducted in 2017. The request to
conduct the B&B:08/18 full-scale data collection from July 2018 through March 2019, to collect data from B&B:08
sample members after they were first surveyed 10 years earlier, was approved in April 2018 (OMB# 1850-0729
v.13). This request is to make minor revisions to approved contacting materials, to add an item to the approved full
survey instrument, and to add several items to the abbreviated and mini survey instruments.
