2001-2002 Conference and Court Reporting Degree and Credit Hour Trends Reports

Abstract

The Degree Trends Report is developed by the Office of Institutional Research based on data compiled from official college records which are submitted to the State of Michigan for IPEDS (Integrated Post-Secondary Education System) Annual Degrees Conferred Report. The Degrees Trends Report examines trends of OCC degrees, based on specific programs. The standard format offers information on certificates and associate's degrees awarded. In the event that a given program offers only a certificate or an associate's degree, information describing the other type of award will not be provided. Each year the Office of Institutional Research prepares the Credit Hour Trends report, based on data submitted to the State of Michigan in the annual ACS-6 (Activities Classification Structure) process. This report is based on each course section's official count date {1/10th Day). The Credit Hour Trends report examines annual (July 1 - June 30) enrollment trends of OCC disciplines, based on course prefix codes.
