METHODOLOGICAL NOTES

Three years later, even as the acute phase of the pandemic recedes, the enrollment dashboards will continue to be updated within the first two months of every term using the latest enrollment data available to highlight disparities in pandemic recovery across various subgroups of students, programs, institutions, and states/regions. [...] Analyses focus on year-over-year percent changes in enrollment between 2021 and 2022, 2022 and 2023, and the two- year cumulative percent change in enrollment from 2021 to 2023, based on the same institutions reporting at the same time across all three years. [...] In general, the difference between a 14 and a 23 designation lies in the share of degrees awarded at the associate degree level. [...] Our reporting is restricted to the fixed panel of institutions, and the institution sector definitions are applied consistently across all comparison years (2021-2023) in order to calculate year-over-year enrollment changes without the disruption of sector reclassifications between years. [...] MAJOR FIELD OF STUDY Reporting on the field of study is based on the 2020 NCES Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP), first analyzing at the six-digit CIP level and categorizing into CIP families at the two-digit level.
