Part B - Advanced degree question
Advanced degree question
What method will you use to report data on your institution's doctor's degrees and professional degrees on BOTH Institutional Characteristics in Fall 2008 and Fall Enrollment in Winter 2008-09/Spring 2009?
 
   The new postbaccalaureate degree classifications:
    Master's degree
    Doctor's degree - research/scholarship
    Doctor's degree - professional practice
    Doctor's degree - other
To use this method, you will need to recode all doctor's and first-professional degrees into the four graduate level categories listed above. You will also report any first-professional certificates as post-master's certificates. You will be required to use this method when reporting this survey in 2009-10 IPEDS.
 
   The old postbaccalaureate degree classifications:
    Master's degree
    Doctor's degree
    First-professional degree
 
   This institution does not have any programs beyond the baccalaureate level.
 
Please note: The Fall Enrollment data that you will report this winter or spring MUST use the same method for reporting professional programs that you use for the Institutional Characteristics survey this fall. No changes to reporting method will be allowed after the fall data collection closes.

    Screen Entry The number you entered, 980, is outside the expected range of within 30% of the number reported in last year's Enrollment. Please fix or explain. Explanation Yes
    Reason: The number of 980 uses the new graduate levels. Prior year number of 750 uses the old graduate levels. The sharp increase this year is because of the inclusion of Doctor-professional practice, where last year First-Professional were not considered graduate level.
