* The post-baccalaureate classification was implemented for Coordinating Board purposes in summer 1992 (after

internal statistics were printed) and appears in the Fact Book beginning in fall 1992 to more clearly define the student

who holds at least a bachelor's degree, but who is not currently accepted into an approved graduate program. Students

accepted into a master's program are classified as "master's" and students accepted into a doctoral program are

classified as "doctoral" with the following exception: students with a bachelor's degree who are accepted into a doctoral

program are classified as "master's" until they have completed 30 hours toward the doctorate. The post-baccalaureate

category generates master's level funding for graduate semester credit hours.
