The study summarizes findings for a Graduate Student Satisfaction Survey administered to Montana State University and the University of Montana during the Fall 2003 semester. The distribution of this survey was done in collaboration with the Offices of Graduate Studies at Montana State University and the University of Montana. The purpose of this study was to elicit opinions and feedback from graduate students relative to their educational satisfaction while enrolled in their graduate program. The research addressed the following questions: 1) Does a model based upon Tinto's Theory of Departure (academic integration, social integration, and goal commitment) predict satisfaction in MUS graduate students; 2) Does academic integration make a significant unique contribution to the prediction of satisfaction after other variables have been statistically controlled; 3) Does social integration make a significant unique contribution to the prediction of satisfaction after other variables have been statistically controlled;
