More and more CPS graduates are going to college every year. What are they choosing to study in college, and are they completing the degree they initially enrolled in? For the first time, we have information on both the majors CPS graduates selected while enrolled in college and their eventual degree completion majors. In this presentation, we will share insights from our analysis of the patterns of college majors in which students enroll, the majors in which they complete (or do not complete) degrees, the relationship between enrollment and completion majors, and whether these patterns differ among various groups of students. This analysis provides a clearer picture of the educational pursuits of CPS students from when they begin post-secondary their eventual outcome after six years of High School graduation.
