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.  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 even though a department has a "primary" CIP-code, they can still offer programs that fall under other CIP-codes.
