CSM Degrees and Certificates by Age
Fall 2006 to Summer 2011 (15 Terms)
Data Included:
• Table A: CSM Degrees and Certificates by Age
• Table B: CSM Degrees and Certificates by Age by Academic Year
• Tables A and B contain data spanning 15 terms, Fall 2006 – Summer 2011. For comparative purposes a Fall
2010 age profile is also included in Table A. Findings, included below, are conclusions based upon this 15term period.
Key Findings:
• A total of 4,233 Degrees and Certificates were awarded, Fall 2006 – Summer 2011. More than ¾ of all
awards (76.6%) are earned by students 20 – 39. In comparison, only 53% of all CSM students are in this age
range. (See Table A)
• Conversely, although students younger than 20 comprise 28.5% of all students, they represent only 3.8% of all
award earners. (See Table A)
• Approximately the same relationship between age and earning awards is found for each award type—i.e.,
AA Degrees, AS Degrees, Certificates of Achievement, and Certificates of Specialization. (See Table A)
• The above age-related disproportions in award earning are also reflected for each year’s data presented in
Table B.
