† Not applicable. # Rounds to zero. ¹ The 2- and 3-credit occupational concentrators are graduates who earned at least 2.0 and 3.0 credits, respectively, in one of the following 12 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, marketing, public services, and repair and transportation. Graduates can concentrate in more than one occupational area. ² CTE stands for career and technical education. CTE-related fields are based on the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP). NOTE: See the Technical Notes for the definition of 95% CI (confidence interval). Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
