1 2-credit occupational concentrators are defined as graduates who earned 2.0 or more credits in any one of the following 11 occupational areas: agriculture and natural resources; business; communications and design; computer and information sciences; construction and architecture; consumer and culinary services; engineering technologies; health sciences; manufacturing, repair, and transportation; marketing; and public services. 2 3-credit occupational concentrators are defined as graduates who earned 3.0 or more credits in any one of the 11 occupational areas listed in footnote 1. NOTE: This table shows, for example, that among all public high school graduates from the class of 2005 who completed no mathematics courses in grade 9 at or above the algebra level (including no courses at all), 43.8 percent were 2-credit occupational concentrators. Also, 48.9 percent of graduates who earned any occupational credits and who took this level of mathematics couses in grade 9 were 2-credit occupational concentrators.
