The cohort was developed by pulling all of the students coded on the CBM001 at a specific level in the fall semester and then checking the five prior years to determine if they had been coded at that level in those prior years. If students were coded at that level in the prior years, they were dropped from the cohort. The doctoral cohort was tracked for 10 years. The master’s cohort was tracked for 5 years. The master’s cohort does not include students who received a master’s level certificate or were classified as a doctorate student within the next 5 years (and did not earn a master’s degree).

Number and percentage of students awarded a degree or certificate in a given year who are employed in the 4th quarter of the calendar year in which the program (fiscal) year ends or enrolled in a Texas public, private (independent), and for-profit (career) institution of higher education in the fall semester after receiving the award. Enrollment in certain institutions located outside Texas serving residents or conducting services in Texas, is also included. Students are considered employed if they are reported in the Texas Unemployment Insurance (UI) or the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) wage records. OPM data were only available from 2005 to 2016. Note that this measure was revised to match the 60x30TX state strategic plan; enrollment is no longer dependent on degree level.

Developmental education SCH attempted and dual credit SCH attempted are not included. Two breakouts are also shown: average attempted SCH accumulated by graduates who began and graduated at the same institution and average attempted SCH accumulated among graduates who began at another public institution.

The total number of outpatient visits during the fiscal year. An 'outpatient visit' occurs when the individual receives health care services, including emergency room services, but is not admitted to a hospital bed. One patient who initially visits an emergency room and is then referred to and receives health care services from another affiliated, contracted, or owned outpatient facility would be counted as two outpatient visits. The definition includes visits to both on-site (on the premises of the hospital or institution) and off-site outpatient facilities. It includes outpatient visits previously reported as a separate measure under the Dental School. A 'patient visit' occurs when an individual receives health care services from Institutional faculty, post-graduate trainees, or pre-doctoral dental students at a hospital or clinic, affiliated with, contracted with, or owned, operated and funded by a health-related institution (including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Hospital) during the reporting period. To the extent possible, the total should exclude outpatient visits associated with health care providers who are not employed by the institution but may teach residents and students.

The total number of inpatient days during a fiscal year. An 'inpatient day' occurs when an individual, who is admitted by an institutional faculty or post-graduate trainee, occupies a hospital bed at the time that the official census is taken at each hospital affiliated with, contracted with, or owned, operated, and funded by a health-related institution (including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Hospital) during the reporting period. One patient occupying one room for two nights would be counted as two inpatient days. To the extent possible, the total should exclude inpatient days associated with health care providers who are not employed by the institution but may teach residents and students.
