oThe Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) taxonomic coding scheme was developed in 1980 by the National Center for Education Statistics to facilitate the organization, collection, and reporting of fields of study and program completions.  The CIP titles and program descriptions are intended to be generic categories into which program completions data can be placed, not exact duplicates of a specific major or field of study titles used by individual institutions.  This institution’s programs generally are intended to provide training for occupations associated with multiple CIP codes and each program’s graduates generally occupy a wide variety of positions both following graduation and within a few years.  However, the institution is required to choose one CIP code and believes that a code of 50.0409 is the best representation of expected occupations.  The institution is required to list the following occupations (by name and Standard Occupational Classification—or SOC—code) that the O*NET crosswalk identifies as a representative sample of identified occupations for completers of a program with a CIP code of 50.0409. 

25-1121.00 Art, Drama, and Music Teachers, Postsecondary  

27-1011.00 Art Directors  

27-1014.00 Multi-Media Artists and Animators  

27-1019.00 Artists and Related Workers, All Other  

27-1024.00 Graphic Designers   

51-5022.00 Prepress Technicians and Workers  

51-9123.00 Painting, Coating, and Decorating Workers

The institution notes that, due to the nature of CIP codes and SOC codes, this list of representative occupations may be expected to comprise a subset of actual graduates’ occupations; further, graduates may or may not work in each of these listed occupations.

o   The on-time graduation rate as defined by the U.S. Department of Education for students who completed the program between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012 is 100% for the degree program.  The definition is the percentage of graduates that completed the program within the normal timeframe.

o   The placement rate, as of June 30, 2012, for graduates who started school in September 2008 as reported to the ACCSC was 75%. Of the 26 students who started in September 2008, 16 graduated within 150% of the normal program length. Of the 16 graduates, 4 were furthering their educations. Of the 12 graduates available for placement, 9 were employed in the field of study and 3 were employed in unrelated occupations. More graduates may have been placed subsequently.

o  Tuition and fees charged for completing the program within the normal time for students who start the programs between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013 are $37,610 for the degree program.  (Note that financial aid is available for those who qualify and the net price paid may be materially less; please visit www.antonelli.edu/admissions.) 

o   The typical costs for books and supplies for completing the program within the normal time for students who start the programs between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013 are expected to be- as of the fall of 2012- approximately $3,300-$4,050 for the degree program.

o   The total charges for school-sponsored housing for completing the program within the normal time for students who start the programs between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013 are $16,560 for the degree program.

o   Potential applicants may find the following information at www.antonelli.edu/catalog.pdf: institutional accreditation; contact information for accrediting agencies and state licensing/approval agencies; admissions policies and practices; policies on transfer of credits to and from the institution; policies and processes for withdrawal and for refunds of tuition/fees; and additional consumer information.
