Abstract:
Tue 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 the IPEDS (Integrated Post-Secondary Education System) Annual Degrees
Conferred Report. The Degree Trends Report examines trends of OCC degrees,
based on specific programs. Tue standard format offers information about certificates and
associate degrees awarded. In the event that a given program offers only a
certificate or an associate degree, Information describing the other type of award
will not be shown. 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.
