Programs by CIP Codes

To satisfy federal reporting needs, SACSCOC requires that institutions maintain a list of approved academic programs alongside designated CIP Codes. Originally developed by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in 1980, the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) provides a taxonomic scheme that supports the accurate tracking and reporting of fields of study and program completion activity. On this page, you will find the list of all SACSCOC approved programs and CIP codes at Meharry Medical College. For more information about CIP codes, please visit the CIP page on the National Center for Education Statistics website.
