Undergraduate Class Sections
Undergraduate Class Sections aligns with that of the Common Data Set Initiative (www.commondataset.org). In sum, a class section is defined as an organized undergraduate course offered for credit, identified by discipline and number, meeting at a stated time or times in a classroom or similar setting, and not a subsection such as a laboratory or discussion session. Excludes distance learning classes and noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one‐to‐one readings. The number of class sections with the number of students ranging from 2 to 9, 10-19, 20 to 29, 30 to 39, 40 to 49, 50-99,100 and more are listed in this metric.
This is a Fall metric.
