This metric is part of the Education-to-Workforce (E-W) Indicator Framework, specifically "Outcomes and Milestones" which pertain to key outcomes and milestones along the E-W Continuum strongly associated with individuals achieving economic mobility and security.

This metric is a measurement for a key indicator, "Enrollment in graduate education," which defines students enrolling in a graduate education program after completing an undergraduate degree.

Calculating a Response

Use the following CEDS elements to determine the academic year:

• Academic Year Designator representing July 1 through June 30
• Academic Term Designator is within the academic year being reported

Use the following CEDS elements to determine the number of students that received a bachelor's degree:

• Pull all unique students which is determined by using a unique Student Identifier where Student Identification System = State
  

Where the student:

• is associated with a postsecondary school through the Office of Postsecondary Education Identifier, and where
• Academic Award Date is within the academic year being reported. Note that data should look forward at least five years for this metric Academic Award Level Conferred = 05 (Bachelor's degree)
  • Example: if you are looking at bachelor degree recipients for 2019-20, you will look for graduate program enrollment in 2020-21 through 2024-25
• Student Level = Graduate

From the students who received a bachelor's degree, pull students who enrolled in a post-baccalaureate or graduate program within one to five years of completion using the following CEDS elements:

• Enrollment in Postsecondary Award Type = 
  • 06 (Postbaccalaureate Certificate) and/or
  • 07 (Master's Degree), and/or
  • 17 (Doctor's Degree-Research/Scholarship)
  • 18 (Doctor's Degree-Professional Practice)
  • 19 (Doctor's Degree-Other)

• Enrollment Entry Date is 1 to 5 years after the Academic Award Date
  • Example: if you are looking at bachelor degree recipients from 2019-20, you will look for graduate program enrollment in 2020-21 through 2024-25.

• Enrollment Exit Date is null or > Enrollment Entry Date

To calculate the percentage of bachelor's degree recipients who enrolled in a post-baccalaureate or graduate program within one to five years of completion:

• Count the number of bachelor's degree recipients awarded during the academic year being reported.
• Count the number of students enrolled in a post-baccalaureate or graduate program within 1-5 years after award.
• Divide the total number of students enrolled in a post-baccalaureate or graduate program within 1-5 years by the total number of bachelor's degree recipients, and multiply by 100.
