Elizabeth Huang, Donald Malec, and Lynn Weidman

ABSTRACT

We predict Field of Degree (FOD) for insertion on the 2005-2006 ACS files. FOD will be used by the staff of the Demographic Statistical Methods Division (DSMD) as an aid in formulating a design for the 2010 National Survey of College Graduates using the ACS sample as a sampling frame for the National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG).
