oThe Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) taxonomic coding scheme was developed in 1980 by the National Center for Education Statistics to facilitate the organization, collection, and reporting of fields of study and program completions.  The CIP titles and program descriptions are intended to be generic categories into which program completions data can be placed, not exact duplicates of a specific major or field of study titles used by individual institutions.  This institution’s programs generally are intended to provide training for occupations associated with multiple CIP codes and each program’s graduates generally occupy a wide variety of positions both following graduation and within a few years.  However, the institution is required to choose one CIP code and believes that a code of 50.0407 is the closest representation of expected occupations.  The institution is required to list the following occupations (by name and Standard Occupational Classification—or SOC—code) that the O*NET crosswalk identifies as a representative sample of identified occupations for completers of a program with a CIP code of 50.0407. 

25-1121.00 Art, Drama, and Music Teachers, Postsecondary

27-1022.00 Fashion Designers

The institution notes that, due to the nature of CIP codes and SOC codes, this list of representative occupations may be expected to comprise a subset of actual graduates’ occupations; further, graduates may or may not work in each of these listed occupations.

o        The on-time graduation rate as defined by the U.S. Department of Education for students who completed the program between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012 is 100%.  The definition is the percentage of graduates that completed the program within the normal timeframe.

o        The placement rates  as of December 14, 2012  for graduates between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012  and as reported to the New York State Board of Regents were 96% of available graduates and 92% of all graduates. The placement rates  as of 12-15-2011 for graduates between 7-01-2010 and 6-30-2011  and as reported to the New York State Board of Regents were 78% of available graduates and 74% of all graduates.   More graduates may have been placed subsequently, as may be shown elsewhere on this site.

o        Tuition and fees charged for completing the program within the normal time for students who start the program between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013 is $34,810 for the degree program and $26,120 for the diploma.  (Note that financial aid is available for those who qualify and the net price paid may be materially less; please visit  www.woodtobecoburn.edu/aid.)

o        The typical costs for books and supplies for completing the program within the normal time is expected—as of the fall of 2012—to be approximately $3,249 for the degree and $2,400 for the diploma program for students who start the program between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013.
