The Strategic National Arts Alumni Project
The Strategic National Arts Alumni Project - commonly known as SNAAP - is an annual online survey for graduates of degree-granting arts education institutions. The project encompasses arts high schools through undergraduate and graduate art and design colleges, conservatories, and arts schools and programs within comprehensive universities.
In 2008, SNAAP was officially launched as a collaboration between two university-based research centers: the Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research and the Vanderbilt University Curb Center for Art, Enterprise, and Public Policy. In its first two years, SNAAP surveyed over 6,000 arts graduates of more than 90 institutions. More than 100 new institutions will participate in the third and final field test in the fall of 2010.
When fully implemented, SNAAP will provide information about the educational experiences and career choices of arts alumni. Preliminary data from the 2009 field test, in which 3,700 alumni from 54 institutions responded to the survey, gives substance to the generally-held concept that arts graduates have diverse careers.
