##  [MCRP Exit Survey](/mcrp-exit-survey) 

This important survey gives graduating MCRP students a chance to relay their experience in the program as well as plans for the future. With these data and your more qualitative thoughts, SCARP can:

- Improve the program
- Satisfy accreditation requirements
- Answer questions for future students
- Improve your resources as alumni

Your responses in this survey will be **confidential**. Results will be aggregated (ie. we're collecting summary stats, not profiles of individuals) and you will not be identified in any reports.

None of these questions imply that any post-graduation journey is more valid or more successful than any other. MCRP can lead to diverse career paths each with different timelines and challenges.

Thank you very much for your feedback!
