ABSTRACT: This report presents data, collected from 3,532
institutions of higher education within the 50 states and
the District of Columbia, concerning the number of degrees
conferred by these accredited institutions over the 10-year
period from 1980-81 to 1989-90. Primary data sources were
the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) for
1980-81 through 1984-85 and the Integrated Postsecondary
Education Data System (IPEDS) for 1986-87 through 1989-90.
Tables of data, comprising 85 percent of the report, list
the following information: (1) numbers and percentages of
degrees conferred by level of degree and sex without regard
to race/ethnicity; (2) numbers and percentages of degrees
conferred by level of degree and race/ethnicity without
regard to sex; (3) numbers of degrees conferred and average
annual percentage change by level of degree and field of
study without regard to sex or race/ethnicity; (4) numbers
of degrees conferred by sex, race/ethnicity, and field of
study. In addition, individual tables present the same type
of data specific to each level of degree (i.e.,
associate's, bachelor's, master's, doctor's, and first
professional). The appendix provides the total number of
associate's, bachelor's, master's, and doctor's degrees
conferred in 1989 90, by detailed program specialty and
summarized to the discipline division. (GLR)

This is an ERIC database document. ERIC is the National
Education Information Network for providing ready access
to the literature of education -descriptions of exemplary
programs, research and development efforts, and related
information that can be used in developing more effective
educational programs. The ERIC database is currently
available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of
the west wing) at Michigan State University. To locate
ERIC documents in the library identify the first line of
each record (i.e., the field ERIC TITLE NUMBER). ED
following ERIC TITLE NUMBER indicates an ERIC document,
an unpublished research study. Most of these items are
available in the Microforms library, located on the 3rd
floor of the west wing. All you need is the six digit ED
number. If EJ follows ERIC TITLE NUMBER the item is a
journal article. The complete journal name is listed after
the code JOURNAL.
