本文是篇由菲律賓高等教育委員會所支助，以聖卡洛斯大學商學院畢業生為對象的追蹤研究。研究的主題是學生在畢業之後的就業狀況，問卷的調查對象是該校的企管系、會計系及餐飲學系的畢業生，而調查時間則分別是2007年3月、10月，及2008年3月。學歷是本研究的主題，在以企管系碩士、企管系學士、辦公室管理學士、企業資管檢定、會計學士、會計管理學士、餐廳旅館管理學士，及餐廳旅館管理準學士等系所畢業生為對象的調查結果中，顯示了聖卡洛斯大學商學院畢業生的就業率非常地高。畢業生通常可以很容易地找到第一個工作，而平均等待工作的時間，則低於一個月。只有非常少數的學生，會在六個月之後，仍處於失業的狀態。而就業後的月薪，則會因為不同的學歷，而有所不同。

This paper is a graduate tracer study sponsored by the Commission on Higher Education which looked into the level of employability of the recent graduates of the University of San Carlos-College of Commerce (USC-COC). The respondents are graduates from the Business Administration, Accountancy and Hospitality Departments for March 2007, October 2007 and March 2008. The degree courses which were the subject of this study were: Masters in Business Administration, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Bachelor of Science in Office Administration, Certificate in Business Information Management, Bachelor of Science in Accountancy, Bachelor of Science in Management Accounting, Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management and Associate in Hotel and Restaurant Management. It appears that USC-COC graduates enjoy a high level of employability. Graduates generally do not experience difficulty in finding their first job and mean waiting time is only less than a month. Only a small percentage of graduates remain unemployed beyond the six month period. Initial gross monthly incomes vary among the different degree programs.
