Total Degrees & Credentials: Kentucky Public & Independent Institutions. 2021-22
Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education
The Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) annually produces a report examining degree and credential production in Kentucky in the previous academic year (July 1 through June 30) and over time. Using data from the Kentucky Postsecondary Education Data System (KPEDS), the report details the number and types of credentials earned at Kentucky's eight public universities, the 18 institutions of the Association of Independent Kentucky Colleges and Universities (AIKCU), and the sixteen campuses of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS). This report disaggregates degrees and credentials by level, sector, underrepresented minority status, low-income status, in-state status and by working-age adults. Findings reveal that total degrees and credentials awarded in 2021-22 increased 0.6% over the previous year, following a slight dip at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2016-17, total degrees and credentials have risen 16.6%, impressive considering that total headcount enrollment grew by only 0.6% during that same time frame. Climbing retention rates suggest that campuses are increasing their efficiency in moving students through academic programs.
