There were 185 alumni of NDMU Graduate School from various programs who participated in this study. The data was analyzed, presented, and interpreted using frequency counts, percentages, and means. Results showed that the majority of the graduate-respondents are male, married, belong to the 29-33 age group, and currently employed with the government.
