The present study aimed to investigate the graph comprehension levels of different undergraduate senior students. The multiple case study was used and twenty individual cases were chosen (five political science and public administration (ADM), five civil engineering (CE), five mathematics (MATH), and five mathematics education (MHED) students). For this purpose, this research focused on Curcio’s reading the data, reading between the data, and reading beyond the data. The data were collected through face-to-face semi-structured interviews. Expert evaluation and development field testing were conducted for their readability, clarity, and congruity for items. Results indicated that all students were successful in reading the data level. At the reading between the data level, ADM students had difficulties. At the reading beyond the data, the most challenging level, all students had difficulties, and their difficulties were examined. Based on the results, a conclusion, discussion, and implications were provided.
