“The term ‘knowledge rate’ defines the percent of graduates for which the institution has reasonable and verifiable information concerning the graduates’ postgraduation career activities. This information may come directly from the graduates via, for example, a survey method. Relevant data, however, may also be provided by employers, or obtained through other sources (e.g., LinkedIn profiles, other online sources, fellow graduates, or parents).” NACE First-Destination Standards and Protocols, January 2014
