Eleventh Report - May 20, 2007

Commencement Research Report - May 20, 2007

This an unofficial research report on a comparison of Eastern CSU graduates at Commencement on May 2007, determined by counting names in the commencement program.  It would be an estimate because some of the students listed in the program are listed in two sections and the official count will depend on final grades from the spring 2007 semester.  These statistics do not take into account the number of teacher candidates that the Education Department shares with other departments.  Teacher candidates are more often listed as graduating with their liberal arts major.

These statistics are compared with last year's commencement count.  Some preliminary generalizations include that there was growth in graduates from the School of Education and Professional Studies and the School of Continuing Education, but a slight decline in graduates from the School of Arts and Sciences. There was also a slight over-all decline in the number of graduates from Eastern.
