    Graduate retention in New Brunswick: 2021 graduate cohort update
    (New Brunswick Institute for Research, Data and Training, 2024-06) McDonald, Ted; Miah, Pablo; Beykzadeh, Ali; Gorman-Asal, Madeleine
    This report is the third in a series of annual updates on post-secondary graduates’ retention in New Brunswick (NB) by the New Brunswick Institute for Research, Data and Training (NB-IRDT). These reports provide an overview of the retention patterns of graduates from post-secondary institutions in NB since the previous reporting period, and their updates on graduates’ retention trends can help guide public policy discussions around education and training strategies to attract younger individuals to study, work and live in NB. The current study, which includes data on the 2021 graduate cohort, provides an update to the graduate retention results released by NB-IRDT in 2023 (Balzer et al., 2023), which included data on individuals who graduated in 2019 and 2020. The methodology followed by Balzer et al. (2023) was replicated for this cohort update.

    University graduate retention in New Brunswick: 2022 graduate cohort update
    (New Brunswick Institute for Research, Data and Training, 2025-06) Beykzadeh, Ali; Jones, Bethany; McDonald, Ted; Miah, Pablo
    In 2021, the New Brunswick Institute for Research, Data and Training (NB-IRDT) released the first report in a Graduate retention in New Brunswick series. Each year, we use the newest data available to answer a list of research questions, highlighting how results have changed since the last report in the series was released. We ask, for instance: • How many students graduate from publicly funded universities in NB, and what percentage remain in NB over time? • How do results differ for students from NB, international students and students from other provinces in Canada? • Are graduates from certain fields of study more likely to remain in NB than others? • Which university has the highest graduate retention rates, and why? This is the fourth update in the series, and it represents the first time that results for college and university graduates are being presented separately – due to differences in data availability timelines. This report updates our most recent work (which incorporated results for students who graduated in 2021) by presenting annual results for students who graduated from universities in NB between 2010 and 2022. Results for college graduates are forthcoming in a separate report.
