FHSU Students’ Economic Perceptions & Expectations

Economic perceptions and expectations (P&E) held by college students influence many essential choices they make throughout college. Based on a survey administered in March 2025, our FHSU Student Confidence Index increased by nearly 2% from the previous year. Overall, most respondents remain optimistic about the competitiveness of their degree and ability to secure a job after graduation, more so than evident within 2024.
