| Abstract | The objectives, activities, and results of a project to classify higher education undergraduate courses are summarized. The Classification System for Postsecondary Courses (CSPEC) is based on the structure of the Center for Education Statistics' Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) but provides a greater level of detail for course titles. By expanding the CIP six-digit code to eight digits, CSPEC allows for the assignment of a unique code for each course under an area of instruction. Catalogs from 60 public and private colleges were used to develop the CSPEC database. In order to determine the reliability and ease of use of CSPEC for survey purposes, a small coding experiment was conducted. Procedures to code a course, using CSPEC, are set forth. For 50 CIP sections, information is provided on results of testing of the CSPEC coding system, with attention to distinctions between similar courses. The 60 colleges are listed, along with information on control, level, and region. Members of the course classification advisory panel are also identified. (SW) |
