Degrees Definitions Degrees granted (conferred, awarded) Reports to the U.S. Department of Education group degrees by level (Doctoral, Master's, Bachelor's, Associate). The Education Specialist (Ed.S.), a post-master's award in Education are reported separately, but in UML and UMass system-wide reports the Ed.S. figures are added to Master's. OIR's reports for UML break out degrees further by title (PhD, MBA, BS, etc.). Degree year July 1- June 30 is the period for federal reporting of degrees granted. Awards conferred after the degree census date, even if retroactive to the July 1 - June 30 period, do not appear in OIR's degree counts. Degree program / degree major Factbook tables show degree programs by name, without breakout by program option. OIR does collect data on options, and this is available upon request. First major / Double major External reports currently include only the first major of a degree granted with a double major. Two options within the same major do not constitute a double major. A small number of UML degrees are granted with double majors; the Factbook does not report these second majors. OIR does collect data on second majors, and this is available upon request. Day and Continuing Education degrees External reports do not differentiate between Day and Continuing Education (CE), but OIR identifies CE degrees in Factbook tables for the UML community. Certificates awarded A certificate in a particular area of expertise may be awarded at either the pre-baccalaureate or graduate level upon completion of a sequence of courses totaling twelve credits or more.

OIR compiles degree and certificate awards from degree census files "frozen" after the reporting period ends on June 30. Federal reporting requirements dictate the timing. FACTBOOK 2016-17
