Graduate Student Feeder Schools

| Description |
A list of higher educational institutions attended by UWM graduate students before applying to UWM, and the headcount of attendees at those universities. User-customizable report that can be broken down by Academic Year, Semester, Term, Admission Status, Enrollment Status, Degree Received at Previous Institution, Most Recent Institution only, Citizenship, Degree Level, Residency, Gender, Academic Program, and Academic Plan. |
| Details & Errata |
Previous institution data is somewhat spotty in PeopleSoft. For some students, this information isn’t captured at all, or captured improperly. For many international students, the previous institution is simply listed as the country they were in when applying to UWM. In the reporting data store, one data set lists only the most recent school attended (and is incomplete) and another data set lists all previous schools attended (and is slightly more complete). This query combines both data sets without duplication. Due to missing data, totals for the number of students applying/admitted/enrolled will never match official counts of apps, admits, or new enrolls. |
| Production Schedule |
Ad-hoc. |

Geographical Map International Graduate Applications
| Availability |
Google Maps |
| Description |
Google Map of the top 15 countries from which international graduate applications were received Fall 2011-Spring 2015. Report has multiple, selectable "layers" to show data from only the most recent higher-ed schools, all previous schools, and others. A "Grouped by School" layer shows the number of applicants form that city by school/college. A "Grouped by Semester" layer shows the number of applications from that city per semester. |
| Details & Errata |
Map shows count per city. "City" is pulled directly from the student’s application, which often leads to misspellings, typographical errors, and different ways of writing a city’s name. Due to these and other data irregularities, some applications are not included in this map. While it is possible to view multiple layers at once, it is recommended that you only view one layer at a time, as each layer contains a separate set of information. |
