Description

Full Load Equivalent (FLE) is a measure used so that we can make comparable calculations across different institutions, across different programs. The FLE is measured by taking the load of the student enrolled (instructional hours + practicum hours) and dividing by the full load of that program. This results in a comparable metric to be able to use across the system. The FLE calculation is consistent for every institution and program. Field of study is reported using the CIP (Classification of Instructional Programs) 2011 code value assigned to each program and specialization. CIP codes are used to classify like programs based on the instructional content of the program/specializations. This dataset will show the FLE measure by each 2 digit CIP code by Academic Year.
