Population

 

Data are as of census and are presented by Fiscal Year (Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring)

Includes:

  •  All undergraduate and graduate awards completed are presented, including programs not reportable to IPEDS.  The awards not reportable to IPEDS include certificates/CQPs offered through the School of Education and Counseling Psychology, the Jesuit School of Theology, and the School of Engineering.

Excludes:

  • Common MA's conferred by The Jesuit School of Theology/Graduate Theological Union
  • Audit only students                                    

Function

  The Awards Conferred visualization provides an in-depth view at each award’s associated attributes by fiscal year.

General Special Notes

 
  • Name Changes in PeopleSoft - Names may change over time (e.g., academic plans, departments). All data are presented consistently over time, reflecting the most recent name. This may result in some differences from previously reported data and reports.
  • Retroactive changes in PeopleSoft - Retroactive changes are reflected in this visualization (e.g., late posted degrees, race/ethnicity, gender). This may result in some differences from previously reported data and reports.
  • Data Entry in PeopleSoft - Though the Office of Institutional Research conducts regular data audits and corrections, the volume, ubiquity, and persistence of data entry errors exceed capacity. While the overall error rate may be low, they often occur in bursts in a particular program or year. We encourage user feedback when data appear anomalous.

Population

  Data are a count of awards conferred.

Population

  Data are a count of awards conferred.
Race/Ethnicity and gender breakdown is by award and may be duplicated due to double degrees.                                               

Function

 

The Summary Gender & Race/Ethnicity dashboard displays a breakdown of the count of awards by race/ethnicity and gender for each fiscal year, and can be presented by college or cluster.                                                         

Population

 

Data are a count of academic plans.

Includes:

  • Academic plan type: certificates, majors and minors.                                                                                                  

Function

  The Academic Plan Trends Comparison dashboard displays the awards conferred for the selected academic plan and the comparison field presented over the fiscal year, allowing for trend comparisons between an academic plan, cluster, or college/school.

Population

  • Academic plan type: majors and minors

Program Review only

Population

 

Data are average high school GPA or SAT/ACT scores.

Includes:

Function

 

The Undergraduate High School GPA, SAT/ACT Scores dashboard displays the average high school GPA, SAT/ACT scores of first-time students who were awarded the selected academic plan major and the comparison field presented over the fiscal year, allowing for trend comparisons between academic plan, cluster, or college/school.

Special Notes:

 
  • High School GPA - The high school GPAs presented prior to Program Review 2017 are not comparable to those presented currently because the underlying field the data come from has changed.
  • SAT/ACT Scores - SAT (Math and Verbal) and ACT scores presented are the highest scores submitted if multiple tests were submitted. Students may submit either the SAT, ACT, or both hence the total number of scores submitted may exceed the total number of awards conferred.
  • PeopleSoft - Only students whose complete record is present in PeopleSoft are included in this report and are used in calculating average SAT/ACT scores and high school GPA.

Program Review only

Function

  The Cumulative Units and Degree GPA dashboard displays the cumulative units and degree GPA of students who were awarded the selected academic plan major and the comparison field presented over the fiscal year, allowing for trend comparisons between academic plan, cluster, or college/school.

Special Notes

 
  • Students receiving more than one award – Each award is counted once. GPAs and units for students who earned more than one award will be reported separately under each awarded academic plan.
  • Undergraduate/Graduate GPA and Units - GPA and units are those earned at the time the award was granted; GPA population does not include Pass/No Pass classes as no GPA is given.
