Bronco Budget 2.0 Measures

1. Extract the full class schedule to get the instructors; include everything for the terms being analyzed.
2. Identify course attributes for the individual class section (using the unique identifier for the class section from PeopleSoft) so we can assign credit types (which allows full disclosure of what is included and excluded from Bronco Budget).
   1. See Table 1 for details on what is included in each of the SCH categories:
      1. Self-support – excluded
      2. Online program fee – excluded
      3. Concurrent enrollment – excluded
      4. Continuing Ed other – excluded
      5. Outreach – excluded
      6. Bronco Budget credits are the remaining (total credits minus the previous five categories)
   2. Courses taken as study abroad or through the national student exchange program are excluded from Bronco Budget analysis. This includes courses with the following properties:
      1. Course Subject is ‘NATSTDEX’ or ‘INTPRGM’—used as placeholder credits when students are studying at another institution.
      2. Course section is ‘GLO’ or ‘NSE’—used after a student returns and specific class credits are assigned to indicate the course was taken at another institution.
3. Zero credit sections (e.g., labs or discussion) are assigned one credit and one credit is removed from the associated lecture as appropriate (after checking to ensure students are registered in both). Lectures where both the section is UF and the catalog number is 100 are excluded from this process.
4. Put the instructors and classes together with the SCH for the classes. Courses with no instructor assigned are assigned to the Subject Owner.
5. Count up instructors for each class section, attach the count and divide the SCH by the number of instructors; SCH is divided evenly between the instructors.
6. Credit hours taught by adjuncts, GAs, professional staff, and provost/vice provosts are assigned to the Subject Owner.
7. For tenured or tenure track faculty members, lecturers, department chairs, or deans: attach instructor to their department(s), using multi-record HR files (for each semester), based on who is paying them. IR maintains a crosswalk of “valid” academic departments to budget codes and subjects (see Table 2 for the list of “valid” academic departments). Budget department is used as primary; if no budget department is listed, then Subject department (course owner) is used. Credits also go to Subject for adjuncts, GAs, and professional staff who do not have regular teaching assignments.
   1. Parse out credits by student residency (International or Domestic).
   2. If an instructor is paid by one “valid” academic department, then their SCH is assigned 100% to that department.
   3. If an instructor is paid by more than one (>1)  academic department:
      1. The SCH for each course is assigned based on the pay distribution from the HR file, provided that the pay sources are all “valid” academic departments.
      2. If any of the pay sources are not “valid” academic departments, then the non-valid department(s) are removed from the distribution and the distribution is re-adjusted to 100% based on the remaining department(s).
8. Adjustments to the academic organization are made as needed (e.g., a department that moved to another college).
9. An important note about the SCH data file–some credit adjustments agreed upon by an academic college and the finance office for budgeting purposes may be conducted on a post hoc basis (e.g., inter-college agreements, requesting/completing budget transfers). These adjustments are not be reflected in the raw data supplied by Institutional Effectiveness.

Note: italicized attributes represent historical course attribute values that were included in preliminary versions of the data from earlier years. The Division of Extended Studies maintains course attributes used to designate all categories other than Bronco Budget.

1. Average number of majors fall and spring.  Officially Enrolled (actively enrolled & withdrawn CW) and end of term.
2. Majors are based on the college that is the plan owner of the plans/majors in which students are enrolled. Includes majors only (i.e., not certificates, minors, and endorsements).
3. Look at residency during the given semesters (same method as credits).
   1. BSUIPEDSEthnicityKey = 6 (nonresident alien), then International
   2. All else = Domestic students
4. Adjustments to the academic organization have been made as needed (i.e., for a program that moved colleges, the SCH is counted in the new college). In addition, students in secondary education programs also were credited to COED.
5. Exclusions:
   1. Program keys = UGDES and UGJSS (concurrent enrollment)
   2. UNIV undecided and second UG degree students (Academic Plan ‘UNIV-UND’,’UG2D-UND’)
   3. Self-support and online program fee (alternative funding) programs:
      1. Imaging Sciences BS (academic plan codes: IMAGESCI & PRE-IMAGE)
      2. Public Health BA (PUBHLTH-O & PRE-PUBH-O)
      3. Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS-O & PRE-BAS-O)
      4. Multidisciplinary Studies BA (MDS-O & PRE-MDS-O)
      5. Management BBA (MGMT-BBA & PRE-MGMT)
      6. Nursing RN to BS (NURS RN AP & PRE-RNBS)
      7. Respiratory Care RRT to BS (RRT-BS & PRE-RRT-BS)
      8. Business Accountancy and Administration
         in Twin Falls (ACCTBBA-TF, GBUSBBA-TF, & ‘PRE-BUS-TF)
      9. Criminal Justice BS Twin Falls (CJ-BS-TF & PRE-CJ-TF)
      10. Bachelor of Social Work Twin Falls (SCWK-BA-TF & PRE-SW-TF)
      11. Public Relations Online BA (PRO-O & PRE-PRO-O)
   4. Prior to 2017-18, five alternative funding model programs were not identified by stand-alone plans. Therefore, majors to be excluded from Bronco Budget were identified by examining students’ course-taking behavior; those who took <50% of their courses on campus were counted as alternative funding students and excluded from Bronco Budget. Additional details available upon request from earlier glossaries.

1. Current version for a full year (SU, FA, & SP)
2. Look at residency at the time of graduation (FactDegreeTerm)
   1. BSUIPEDSEthnicityKey = 6 (nonresident alien), then International
   2. All else = Domestic students
3. Includes majors only, Bachelors level (Associates excluded). Includes  Second Bachelor’s degrees
4.  Exclusions: Students in self-support and online program fee (alternative funding) programs as follows:
   1. Imaging Sciences BS (academic plan codes: IMAGESCI & PRE-IMAGE)
   2. Public Health BA (PUBHLTH-O & PRE-PUBH-O)
   3. Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS-O & PRE-BAS-O)
   4. Multidisciplinary Studies BA (MDS-O & PRE-MDS-O)
   5. Management BBA (MGMT-BBA & PRE-MGMT)
   6. Nursing RN to BS (NURS RN AP & PRE-RNBS)
   7. Respiratory Care RRT to BS (RRT-BS & PRE-RRT-BS)

   9. Criminal Justice BS Twin Falls (CJ-BS-TF & PRE-CJ-TF)
   10. Bachelor of Social Work Twin Falls (SCWK-BA-TF & PRE-SW-TF)
   11. Public Relations Online BA (PRO-O & PRE-PRO-O). Prior to 2017-18, five alternative funding model programs were not identified by stand-alone plans. Therefore, graduates to be excluded from Bronco Budget were identified by examining students’ course-taking behavior; those who took less than fifty percent (<50%) of their courses on campus were counted as alternative funding students and excluded from Bronco Budget. Additional details available upon request from earlier glossaries.
5. Adjustments to the academic organization have been made as needed (i.e., for a program that moved colleges, the SCH is counted in the new college). In addition, students in secondary education programs also were credited to the College of Education.
