Source Notes
Course sequencing is generated from the Acadia Program Mapper cache. Career groupings use local CIP-to-SOC mappings and BLS occupation data when available. Confirm education plans with Counseling and Advising.
Career Connections used a same-family CIP fallback because this exact CIP was not in the NCES/IPEDS crosswalk (43.0201).
Live wage data was not available from the BLS helper for the mapped occupations, so some pay fields may be blank.
