The “Data as of” field on the bottom right of the page indicates when the data was extracted from SID.
Related Performance and Accountability metrics:
PBF-6: Bachelor's Degrees within Programs of Strategic Emphasis: This metric is based on the number of baccalaureate degrees awarded within the programs designated by the Board of Governors as ‘Programs of Strategic Emphasis.’ A student who has multiple majors in the subset of targeted Classification of Instruction Program codes will be counted twice (i.e., double-majors are included). Source: State University Database System (SUDS).
KPI-8: Bachelor’s Degrees Awarded: This is a count of first-major baccalaureate and graduate degrees awarded. First majors include the most common scenario of one student earning one degree in one Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) code. In cases where a student earns a baccalaureate degree under two different degree CIPs, a distinction is made between “dual degrees” and “dual majors.” Also included in first majors are “dual degrees,” which are counted as separate degrees (e.g., counted twice). In these cases, both degree CIPs receive a “degree fraction” of 1.0. The calculation of degree fractions is made according to each institution’s criteria. Source: State University Database System (SUDS).
KPI-10: Bachelor’s Degrees Awarded to African-American & Hispanic Students: Race/Ethnicity data is self-reported by students to each university. The non-Hispanic, African-American, and Hispanic categories do not include students classified as Non-Resident Alien or students with a missing race code. Degree data is based on first-major counts only; second majors are excluded. Percentage of degrees is based on the number of baccalaureate degrees awarded to non-Hispanic African-American and Hispanic students divided by the total degrees awarded, excluding those awarded to non-resident aliens and unreported. Source: State University Database System (SUDS).
KPI-12: Percent of Bachelor’s Degrees in STEM & Health: The percentage of degrees that are classified as STEM or Health disciplines by the Board of Governors in the Academic Program Inventory. These counts include second majors. Second majors include all dual/second majors (e.g., degree CIP receive a degree fraction that is less than 1). The calculation of degree fractions is made according to each institution’s criteria. The calculation for the number of second majors rounds each degree CIP’s fraction of a degree up to 1 and then sums the total. Second majors are typically used when providing degree information by discipline/CIP, to better conveys the number of graduates who have specific skill sets associated with each discipline.

Please note that, effective AY 2024-2025, the BOG has revised its methodology for categorizing Strategic Emphasis, reducing it from five distinct areas to one. "Non SE" denotes Non-Strategic Emphasis data. Our data now aligns with the updated FL BOG Programs of Strategic Emphasis (PSE) methodology. The data has been extrapolated to show trends under both the old and new methodologies, allowing for a comparison of how the changes might affect understanding and analysis.
In this tab, you have the ability to see the data for both methodologies. - Details by Degree Type & Diversity → The tab displays details by degree type and diversity over the past 10 years in a table format.
