1 Awards per 100 FTE: SUNY Data Analysis and Trends May 2014 Performance Measures for Degree Production There are three basic ways of measuring degree production: (1) the numbers of certificates and degrees produced in any given year; (2) the graduation rates; and (3) awards per 100 full-time equivalent students (FTE) ratio. Simple counts of awards produced in any given year are straightforward numbers. They are useful for keeping track of degree production in a state or at a campus over time. Degree counts are not very useful for showing performance relative to inputs. Graduation rates and awards per 100 FTE (a completion ratio) provide a context for counting degrees by answering two different questions: Graduation rates: What percentage of students graduate? Completion ratio: What is the ratio of graduates to overall enrollment? Graduation rates are generally known as an effectiveness measure whereas awards per 100 FTE is an efficiency measure. Graduation rates are longitudinal: the measure begins with an entering group of first-time, full-time freshmen in their fall semester. Then they are tracked over the course of 150 percent of their degree time. For associate programs, this means 3 years; for baccalaureate programs, this means 6 years. The optimal value of a graduation rate is 100 percent. If everything goes smoothly, all students who begin their degree will finish in a reasonable amount of time. Federally defined graduation rates present some well-documented limitations: they include only first-time, full-time undergraduate students, meaning they do not count students who transfer in or students who do not attend full-time their first semester. These measures are campus-bound. They are not easily calculated at the system or state level. By contrast, awards per 100 FTE is a single-year snapshot measure, taken at one point in time. This measure is arguably a more inclusive measure of degree productivity than graduation rates because it covers more students. Awards include all undergraduate degrees and certificates awarded and FTE accounts for all enrolled undergraduate students, adjusted for full-time equivalency. Awards per 100 FTE can easily be calculated at various levels: the campus, the system, the state. Completion ratios are different than graduation rates in terms of interpretation. The optimal value for a campus with predominantly baccalaureate degree programs is 25 percent whereas the optimal value for a campus with predominantly associate degree programs is 50 percent. The same can be applied to campuses that offer upper-division programs or take in a lot of transfer students. These optimal values are derived from the amount of students who could complete their degrees in any given year. In a twoyear campus, with most students enrolled in two-year degrees, about half of the student body has the potential to graduate every year. Page 1 of 10

2 Definition Unlike federally defined graduation rates, awards per 100 FTE can be calculated in slightly different ways. NCHEMS calculation: Undergraduate credentials (certificates of at least one year or above, associate degrees, bachelor degrees) in one given academic year, divided by the adjusted annual FTE. This resulting proportion is multiplied by 100. See Table 1. Table 1. New York State Awards per 100 FTE, all sectors, AY Certificates Associates Bachelor Undergrad FTE Awards per 100 FTE New York 4,616 59, , , Awards per 100 FTE = (4,616+59, ,186) / 875,045 =.212*100 = 21.2 SUNY calculation: All undergraduate credentials in one academic year, divided by the adjusted annual FTE. This resulting proportion is multiplied by 100. SUNY data do not distinguish between certificate program lengths, so all certificates are included. See Table 2. Table 2. SUNY Awards per 100 FTE, all campuses, AY Certificates Associates Bachelor Undergrad FTE Awards per 100 FTE SUNY 1,961 30,481 34, , Weighting. Given the difference in optimal value based on prevalence of award type, one of the most debated aspects of this measure is whether or not to weight the different awards for ease of comparison. Patrick Kelly, the NCHEMS analyst who has provided a substantial amount of background research on this measure, discussed weights in his 2009 paper on productivity measurements (see Table 3). Table 3. Weighted values for different undergraduate award types Award Type Weighted Value Certificates 0.68 Associates 0.80 Bachelors 1.00 Source: Kelly, 2009 While weights may be appropriate at the state-level, looking across sectors, systems and campuses, weights are not very useful at the campus level. They tend to disguise institutional mission, placing all campuses on a baccalaureate granting scale. As seen in Table 2 above, SUNY campuses produce almost Page 2 of 10

3 as many associate degrees as bachelor degrees. As such, an unweighted measure, similar to the NCHEMS calculation, is most appropriate for SUNY data. Sensitivities. Because of the two different optimal values, and SUNY preference to not weight credentials, this measure is sensitive to institutional mission. Specifically, awards per 100 FTE will vary according to two important contextual factors: Percent bachelors to undergraduate awards Percent first-time to total incoming students The first contextual factor identifies the proportion of bachelor awards compared to the total. The lower this factor is, the more one would expect to see an optimal value closer to 50 percent. The second contextual factor highlights the proportion of first-time students to transfer students. The lower this factor is, the more one would expect to see an optimal value closer to 50 percent. This second factor bears more weight on the metric, all other factors equal. For example, if a campus only offers upper division courses, the percent of first-time students will be zero. Even if this campus only offers 100 percent bachelor degrees, the optimal value is still closer to 50 percent. Table 4. SUNY Contextual Factors, average through Campus Category % Bachelors to Total % First-time to Total Undergrad Awards Incoming Students SUNY Total 51.1% 66.6% Doctoral 100.0% 56.6% Comprehensive 96.6% 49.1% Technology 41.1% 63.1% Community Colleges 4.0% 74.2% As seen above, Table 4 describes how institutional mission and campus categories can influence awards per 100 FTE calculations at different SUNY campuses. As such, this metric is best for looking at campus performance over time, rather than campus-to-campus comparison. To get a full picture, this measure is best tracked over time alongside changes in other important student data, like enrollments, student demographic characteristics, and transfer and retention rates. National Context NCHEMS has provided baseline, comparative data for this metric using academic year Including all sectors, New York state performs just ahead of the national average at 21.2 (see Chart 5). On average, national performance for all undergraduate degrees at all campuses is Completion ratios range from 15.7 through 28, a 12 point spread.

6 SUNY Context In , SUNY completion ratios (20.8) come in just under the national (21.1) and NYS (21.2) data points. However, trend data show that between and , this metric increased to 22.6, a growth rate of 2 percent. The doctoral campuses grew at nearly double this rate, an annual growth rate of 4 percent during these four years (see Table 6). Technology and community colleges also grew throughout this period, while comprehensive colleges grew at the slowest rate. Table 7. SUNY Awards per 100 FTE, by campus category, through Campus Category Growth Rate SUNY Total % Doctoral % Comprehensive % Technology % Community Colleges % Growth in the awards per 100 FTE metric can reflect several underlying trends: more students are completing as compared to enrollments, more students are completing shorter cycle degrees and certificates, more students are transferring in with credits already accumulated, or more students are enrolling full-time. In the case of SUNY, the increase in awards per 100 FTE over this time period is reflective of most of these trends. In these years, enrollments, transfers, retention rates and graduation rates all increased. Since the award profile at SUNY campuses do not shift much throughout the years, growth is more likely related to increased retention, persistence, and perhaps increased transfer student enrollments. Attachment 2: SUNY Awards per FTE, through , shows more detail about this measure. Gender. Female students tend to complete at higher ratios than men, regardless of campus sector (see Chart 7). That being said, the disparity between female and male students is most notable at the technology centers.
