The surveys were designed as components of the multi-year evaluation of the University of Washington Astrobiology (AB) IGERT conducted by CIRGE in accordance with the National Science Foundation grant requirements. The results are intended to provide anonymous student feedback to the program faculty and to increase understandings of interdisciplinary graduate programs and student experiences of those programs. Students had mostly positive feedback on many of the AB components and elaborated on the rewards of the program, their expectations that it will help them in their careers, the teamwork it involves, and the writing skills it enhances.
