COE CREDIT HOURS
For the 2002 Summer term, COE credit hour production is almost 12% higher than for Summer 2001, including a 25% increase for HPERD and a 15% increase for Teacher Education.
Fall 2002 credit hours for the COE are already within about 10% of last Fall's final figures, although three departments are already within 2-4% of last Fall's final figures. It is highly likely that credit hours in the COE for 2002-2003 will set an all-time high record.
