GDC Primary CIP-code

Primary CIP-code

The 6-digit CIP code designated as the "primary" CIP-code for a Global Department, as determined annually by the colleges with the Office of Decision Support, then updated in the Global Department system.  For example, "450201" was determined to be the primary CIP-code for Global Department "CAS ANTHROPOLOGY".  It also happens to be the primary CIP-code for Global Department "USFSM ANTHROPOLOGY".

Note that not all departments have a primary CIP-code, especially non-academic ones, like "AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTER", and note that even though a department has a primary CIP-code, they can still offer programs that fall under other CIP-codes.
