Abstract

<p>This tracer study employed a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design to examine the profile of PhD graduates in Language Education, evaluate the relevance of the program to their professional roles, and identify perceived strengths and weaknesses. Quantitative data were collected through a survey questionnaire and were further explored through follow-up interviews with selected respondents. Findings revealed that graduates came from diverse regions and age groups, with motivations for enrollment primarily rooted in career advancement and personal interest. Respondents consistently rated the curriculum as highly relevant to their work in teaching, research, and extension. Quality teaching emerged as the program’s most notable strength, attributed to faculty expertise and well-structured academic processes. However, areas for improvement were also highlighted, particularly the need to upgrade physical facilities and strengthen linkages with industry and external institutions. These findings underscore the importance of aligning curricular offerings with both theoretical and practical demands. For future curriculum development, the study recommends increased exposure to applied research, extension activities, and improved institutional support for faculty and infrastructure. The results contribute to ongoing efforts to ensure that doctoral programs remain relevant and responsive to evolving professional and academic landscapes.</p>
