Data on degrees awarded by Maryland public and private colleges and universities for fiscal years 1971-1982 are presented. Twelve-year trends are reported by broad academic area within each degree level (lower-division certificate, associate, bachelors, masters, doctoral, first-professional). Trends in degree production by race and sex for 1976-1982 are also covered. The trend data are presented in graphs and statistical tables, as well as an introductory narrative summary. Findings include the following: the number of associate degrees increased between 1971 and 1978 but declined thereafter; 59 percent of associate degrees were awarded in career programs, including business/commerce, natural science, and public service technologies; 24 percent more bachelors degrees were awarded in 1982 than in 1971, with the peak occurring in 1978; education, foreign languages, and letters had the largest loss in the number of bachelors degrees awarded; since 1971 the number of masters degrees has risen 51 percent, with the peak occurring in 1978; since 1971 the number of doctoral degrees has increased 8 percent, and the number of degrees in health and psychology has more than doubled; and degree production in law more than doubled mainly in the 1970s.
