Disciplinary areas of DEGREES CONFERRED Degrees conferred between July 1, 202 and June 30, 202 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).
