The survey results indicated 1) most CAS OSU graduates are perceived as more knowledgeable of agriculture and more dependable than graduates from other colleges, 2) employers are satisfied with their CAS OSU employees, and 3) writing skills improvement was the number one suggestion for improvement for CAS OSU graduates.
