Colleges confer an estimated 57,247 degrees 'Exceptionally good news for the Commonwealth...,' says higher ed chief By Sue Patrick News from Council on Postsecondary Education Kentucky's public and independent colleges and universities conferred an estimated 57,247 degrees and credentials during the 2009-10 academic year, according to a preliminary annual degree report issued earlier today at the Council on Postsecondary Education meeting.

The report includes a breakdown of degrees conferred by level for each public institution, a sector total for the member institutions of the Association of Independent Kentucky Colleges and Universities, as well as historical trend information. Over the past decade, the number of degrees conferred statewide has grown substantially at all degree levels. Some highlights of the 10-year trend data include:

For resident undergraduates, the Council approved the following tuition and fee proposals for the 2010-2011 academic year:
