Major data in the PTC comes from HISTORY_MAJOR_FACTS and CIP_LOOKUP_MV.
Major is tracked for 21 semesters (10 full years from entry). For each semester, data on up to three majors is available. At this time, no minor data are available in the PTC.
The following variables are available by semester:
Each of these variables has three versions in a semester. The following variables:
- cip1_code_sem01
- cip2_code_sem01
- cip3_code_sem01
refer to the CIP codes for the first through third majors a student declares in their first semester. The variable "cip2_code_sem18" is a student's CIP code for their second major in their 18th semester.
There is a significant amount of missing data, especially among second and third majors.
