** MHEC dose not require us to collect this information, thus the Howard Community college dose not have data for the past three years. The Center for Hospitality and Culinary Studies is currently attempting to track our graduates through a new program we are testing this year. We hope to find an effect method of tracking as we move forward.

Instructions:

  1. List All grads (Aug., Dec., & May) should be considered in the academic year. For example, Aug. 2020, Dec. 2020, and May 2021 would be used as data for the 2020-2021 academic year.
  2. Calculate by dividing total number of students in the major by total FTE (Full-time equivalent) major faculty
  3. Calculate by dividing the number of students employed in industry or related field by the total students graduating in the major for that year.
  4. Calculate by dividing the number of students continuing their education by the total students graduating in the major for that year.
