Description

...

Due to such diversity of study at the University of Pittsburgh, when a student selects a major that combines different degree types, the student must choose which type of degree they would like to receive.  In a case when only one degree is awarded, one of the plans is indicated as “primary” using the PRIMARY_SUBPLAN_DEGREE_COUNT = 1 and the other as “not primary” (PRIMARY_SUBPLAN_DEGREE_COUNT = 0).  Only the degree where PRIMARY_SUBPLAN_DEGREE_COUNT = 1 is counted towards the Degree Count (calculated field in the Student Graduation data source). This Degree Count field is used in the Degrees by Type visualization.

In the top left part of the dashboard, the “Number of Degrees” displays unique number of degree types based on the filter selection.

The Download button next to the row of filters will allow you to download each chart/table data in .XLSX or .CSV format. When the download menu pop ups, select the sheet which data you want to copy, select the Format, and then click Download. The file will be automatically saved in the Downloads folder on your PC.

Graduation Demographics and Performance

In this view, you will find different demographic and performance metrics of the graduated students. The demographic visualizations on at the left side top of the view only (Citizenship, Ethnicity, Sex, and Gender) apply to students with Baccalaureate Degrees, meaning all students regardless of the degree they received.

The performance metrics are split by the Degree Award Type. This means that Degree Award Type and Degree Award filters at the top of the view will not filter these left visualizations, as them. On the bottom left, you can see average and median GPA for the baccalaureate degrees, where both visualizations have the Degree Award Type filter is preset to ‘BACC’ and there is separate BACC Degree Award filter for the GPA, Honors and Time to Graduation charts.

The Years to Graduation chart also does not use the Fiscal Year and Graduation Term filters.

The visualizations on the right (Citizenship, Ethnicity, Sex, and Gender) apply to all students regardless of their received degree.to refine data for a particular degree. The values for the undergraduate degree average and median GPA are coming from Degree GPA field.

On the bottom right, the average and median GPA are for the advanced certificate, graduate, doctorate, and professional degrees. You can use Degree Award filter to view data for a particular degree. The values for the advanced degrees average and median GPA are coming from Last Enrolled Cumulative GPA field.

If you don’t see most of the visualizations on this page, it means that you don’t have access to the demographic and performance indicators data. See How Do I get access? section of this document.

Years to Graduation

The Years to Graduation view is also split into two sections: Years to Undergraduate Degree and Years to the Advanced Degrees. The filters at the top of the view will apply to both sections. The filters immediately above each chart will filter that chart only. The visualization on the left uses the First Time Freshman Term as a starting point of the student journey. The term when a student was admitted to the graduate, doctorate, or professional program is a starting point for the visualization on the right.
