RADAR

This data visualization reports summary information on UW-Madison graduate program admissions and enrollment for the past five academic years. It includes data on admissions selectivity and yield rates, the demographics of applicants and enrolled students, as well as the home state or country of enrolled students. The visualization provides the same information as the Graduate School Admissions & Enrollment Data Visualization, but using a Universal Program filter, so that custom links can be created that are Plan/Named Option specific.

General

Information is limited to degree programs administered by the Graduate School. Excluded are a number of post-baccalaureate professional degrees solely supported by their home school, including certain medical and law degrees. More information on Graduate School programs can be found at https://grad.wisc.edu.

Presented data are as of the end of the term, and may therefore differ from other official publications using tenth day frozen enrollment records.

All displayed counts are distinct headcounts within specified filter conditions.

Admissions
Graduate School admissions reporting, including the reporting of new enrollments, is limited to new program applicants--i.e. those who not previously enrolled in the program. Students entering a new program via the Graduate School program add/change process are therefore not included in admissions reporting.

Applicants receiving a departmental recommendation for admission (action reason codes G60, G61, G63, G65, G66) are counted as admitted. Applicants may also be counted as admitted if they are approved for admission by the Graduate School Office of Admissions (action reason codes G11, G13, G17, G18).

Admissions new enrollment headcounts are reported for the actual term of initial enrollment, which in some cases differs from the student's term of application and admission. In such cases the yield rate calculation assumes the student enrolled in the original admit term, and the rate is calculated for that term only.

Enrollment

New enrollment headcounts in the Graduate School Enrollment dashboard represent all new enrollments within the specified filters. This includes both students entering the program as new applicants, and those entering the program through the Graduate School program add/change process.

There are two parameters for Academic Plan and Named Option that can be controlled only via defining these parameters in a URL link to the workbook. The first parameter is 'Select Academic Plan (Universal Filter)', which controls which Academic Plan is defined for the entire workbook. The second parameter is 'Select Named Option (Universal Filter)', which controls a filter for what Named Option is defined for the entire workbook. In the event that the 'Select Academic Plan (Universal Filter)' is defined and the 'Select Named Option (Universal Filter)' is not, all Named Options for a given Academic Plan will be shown. In the event that a Named Option is defined that is not a Named Option for the defined Academic Plan, then no data will show.
