Instructional Faculty is defined as those members of the instructionalresear ch staff whose major regular assignment is instruction, including those with released time for research. Use the chart below to determine inclusions and exclusions: Fulltime Parttime (a) instructional faculty in preclinical and clinical medicine, Exclude Include on ly if faculty who are not paid (e.g., those who donate their services or they teach one or are in the military), or research only faculty, postdoctoral fellows, more non clinical or predoctoral fellows credit courses (b) administrative officers with titles such as dean of students, Exclude Include if they librarian, registrar, coach, and the like, even though they may teach one or more devote part of their time to classroom instruction and may have non clinical credit faculty status courses (C ) other administrators/staff who teach one or more non clinical Exclude Include credit courses even though they do not have faculty status (d) undergraduate or graduate studen ts who assist in the instruction Exclude Exclude of courses, but have titles such as teaching assistant, teaching fellow, and the like (e) faculty on sabbatical or leave with pay Include Exclude (f) faculty on leave without pay Exclude Exclude (g) replacement faculty for faculty on sabbatical leave or leave with Exclude Include pay Fulltime instructional faculty: faculty employed on a fulltime basis for instruction (including those with released time for research) Parttime instructional faculty: Adjuncts and other instructors being paid solely for parttime classroom instruction.

Disciplinary areas of DEGREES CONFERRED Degrees conferred between July 1, 2008 and June 30, 2009 For each of the following discipline areas, provide the percentage of diplomas/certificates, associate, and bachelor’s degrees awarded. To determine the percentage, use majors, not headcount (e.g., students with one degree but a double major will be represented twice). Calculate the percentage from your institution’s IPEDS Completions by using the sum of 1 st and 2 nd majors for each CIP code as the numerator and the sum of the Grand Total by 1st Majors and the Grand Total by 2 nd major as the denominator. If you prefer, you can compute the percentages using 1 st majors only.
