Reporting prompts
- How many 6-digit programs sit inside CIP 1310 at this institution?
- How does Coahoma Community College map this CIP grouping to named majors?
- Could similar-looking programs at peer institutions be coded differently?
- What share of students in this program borrow? What is their typical debt load?
- Do many completers pursue graduate school within four years?
- Has the institution reviewed its own 6-digit program structure under the proposed rule?
- How does the institution think this proposed rule would affect programs in this field?
Methodology
What PPD:2026 is: The Department of Education's Program Performance Data file, released as part of the 2026 rulemaking. It models program outcomes at the institution × credential × 4-digit CIP level.
Why modeled exposure is not a final result: These are modeled estimates from a single cohort snapshot. They cannot account for future appeals, teach-outs, institutional changes, or student behavior changes.
The 4-digit vs. 6-digit gap: The public file uses 4-digit CIP codes. The actual proposed rule would use 6-digit codes. About 83% of 4-digit CIPs contain only one 6-digit CIP, but the rest may contain many.
Institution-assigned CIP codes: Institutions assign CIP codes to their own programs. Similar majors at different colleges can be classified under different CIP codes, especially for interdisciplinary or area-studies programs.
Earnings measurement: Earnings are measured roughly four years after program completion, which may undercount lifetime earnings in fields with slower early-career income growth.
Benchmarks: Undergraduate programs are benchmarked against working adults aged 25–34 with only a high school diploma. Graduate programs use a more complex bachelor's-degree benchmark.
Plain-language summary (copy for notes)
DOE's public rulemaking file suggests the broad program grouping Special Education and Teaching. (CIP 1310, Associate) at Coahoma Community College carries a Insufficient public data designation under the proposed earnings-accountability rule. This grouping is defined at the institution × credential × 4-digit CIP level, while the actual proposal would operate at the 6-digit CIP level. This should be treated as a reporting lead rather than a definitive regulatory finding.
