AGENDA ITEM NO. 1
COLLEGE-GOING RATE OF PUBLIC
HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
Methodology Has Changed
New methodology focuses on students that
(1) graduated from an Arkansas public school district in Academic Year 20102011,
(2) are first-time entering students in 2011 Fall term, and
(3) are Arkansas residents.
This new methodology more closely follows that used by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NECS). However, there are three differences:
1. NCES filters by the age range of 16-24. ADHE ignores age but focuses on high
school graduates from the previous year;
2. NCES includes GED students as their report is based on a survey. ADHE does not
have data on annual graduating classes of GED students; and
3. Since the NCES report is a survey, it may include private high schools and home
school students. ADHE has no data on annual graduating classes of private high
schools or home school students.
Therefore, the new methodology is a College-Going Rate calculation for
Arkansas public high school graduates only.
Methodology Has Changed
The Old Methodology Did Not
Measure College-Going Rate
The old methodology consisted of the Fall student
cohort including
(1) first-time,
(2) full-time, and
(3) on-campus that attend an Arkansas public
or independent institution after completing
high school or GED.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM
2010-12 REVIEW
Academic Program Review
• Arkansas Code §6-61-214 requires that the
AHECB review existing academic programs at
Arkansas public colleges and universities.

(AHECB Policy 5.12) were adopted in 1988 and
revised in 1995, 1998, and 2008.
Academic Program Review
Purpose:
• To identify certificate and degree programs
not meeting minimum standards of quality
and viability; and,
• To establish schedules for either resolving
these concerns or removing the programs
from the AHECB approved program
inventory.
Academic Program Review
•
Beginning Fall 2010, all certificate and degree programs
offered by Arkansas colleges and universities must be
reviewed by external consultants over a 7-10-year period
and the findings from the reviews will be reported
annually to the Board.
•
Programs that are accredited/licensed/state certified will
follow the usual review practices and schedule of the
accrediting/approval body.
Academic Program Review
Process for review of programs that are not programspecific accredited:
•
•
•

external reviewers;
The external reviewers prepare their report for the
institution using the self-study document and the
external reviewers’ template. Report should be
submitted to the institution within six weeks; and,
