Career Technical Education (CTE) Completion Rates Follow-up data presented to the CTE Committee September 30, 2014 Hannah Lawler Institutional Research
CTE Completion Rate • As defined in the current Institutional Effectiveness Report • Denominator (Cohort): • First-time freshmen in 2007-2008 who met all of the following criteria: • Earned 12 or more credit units at SMC within six years • Attempted an advanced occupational course (CB09=B) within six years • Numerator: • Students in the cohort who met one or more of the following criteria within six years: • Earned a Certificate of Achievement • Earned an Associate Degree • Transferred to a four-year institution
Follow-up Data Request • During a May 2014 meeting, the CTE Committee requested the following follow-up data • Add non-first time freshmen to the calculation • Disaggregate the completion rates by TOP code/program
Non-First Time Freshmen Cohort • Enrolled at SMC for the first time in 2007-2008 • Some students transferred in from other institutions • Others previously earned a degree at another institution • Earned 12 or more credit units at SMC within six years • Attempted an advanced occupational course (CB09=B) within six years
Revised CTE Completion Rate by TOP Code • TOP code was assigned to student based on the following criteria: • SAM coded “B” course’s TOP code, and; • TOP code of majority of courses
Revised CTE Completion Rate by TOP Code Refer to handout
Discussion Adding non-first time freshmen students in the cohort did not improve the CTE completion rates CTE completion rates vary by TOP code Some courses are miscoded in terms of CB09
