**New	Item** Aside from one new survey question in the BPS:12/14 field test interview, all other BPS:12/14 field test survey

questions have been asked in prior rounds of the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study

(NPSAS), Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B), or BPS. Structural changes were made to the Enrollment and Employ ment sections in the BPS:12/14 field test interview to collect information about all of a sample member’s majors and jobs since beginning postsecondary

education. Prior BPS surveys focused solely on one primary major and job. These structural changes were designed to help fill gaps in information regarding student decision

making about field of study throughout postsecondary education, and the impact of working on persistence

. The one new item, B14EREGSUPP, in the Income and Expenses section of the interview, was an outcome of discussion at the BPS Technical Review Panel regarding the lesser known financial obligations of students which may affect persistence. The field test item asks respondents to indicate whether they

regularly give others, who do not live with them, more than $50 per month. The field test will help determine whether the structure and content of the question are associated with persistence among the BPS sample. This new item has been highlighted within the facsimile and is identified with the word “(NEW”). **Section Form Name**  **Label Page**  **Income and Expenses B14EREGSUPP**  Regularly supported others since starting college H

# Modified	Interview	Sections The BPS:12/14 field test data collection experiment includes a 20

-minute modified interview administered to half of the base ye ar nonrespondents. All base year respondents, and the other half of the base year nonrespondents, will be administered the full 3 5

-minute interview. The sections chosen for the modified interview are indicated in the table of contents below, and include the Front End (interview consent), Enrollment, Employ ment, Locating, Incentives, and End sections. These sections were chosen for the high priority assigned to collecting the data for the items in those sections.



# Re **- interview	Items**  A subset of items from the student interview was chosen to be tested in a 10

-minute reliability re-interview. The re

-interview will be administered, approximately four weeks following a respondent’s completion of the main interview, to a random sample of respondents who received the full (not modified) interview as their main interview. The items selected for the re

-interview are indicated in the main facsimile with yellow highlighting and the words “(Re

Degree or certificate programs include: Undergraduate certificates or diplomas usually take less than two years to complete and are usually designed to equip people with the skills needed for direct entry to employment or to earn a license such as a cosmetology license. Other examples include certi ficates in administrative support, computer programming, and medical records. An associate's degree normally requires at least 2, but less than 4 years, of full -time equivalent college work. A bachelor's degree is usually awarded by a 4 -year college or university and usually requires at least 4 years of full -time, college - level work. A post- baccalaureate certificate provides students who already hold a bachelor's degree with new or additional training in an area of specialization. Certificates typically require fewer course hours than do master's or doctoral degrees, and do not require a thesis or

A post- master's certificate usually requires completion of 24 semester credit hours beyond the master's degree but does not meet th e requirements of academic degrees at the doctoral level. A doctoral degree - research/scholarship is a Ph.D. or other doctor's degree that requires advanced work beyond the master's level, including the preparation and defense of a dissertation based on ori ginal research, or the planning and execution of an original project demonstrating substantial artistic or scholarly achievement. Some examples of this type of degree may include Ed.D., D.M.A., D.B.A., D.Sc., D.A., or D.M., and others, as designated by the awarding institution. A doctoral degree - professional practice is a doctor's degree that is conferred upon completion of a program providing the knowledge and skills for the recognition, credential, or license required for professional practice. The degree is awarded after a period of study such that the total time to the degree, including both pre - professional and professional preparation, equals at least six full - time equivalent academic years. Some of these degrees include: chiropractic (D.C., or D.C.M.) ; dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.); law (L.L.B. or J.D.); medicine (M.D.); optometry (O.D.), osteopathic medicine (D.O.); pharmacy (Pharm.D.); podiatry (D.P.M., Pod.D., D.P.); or veterinary medicine (D.V.M.), and others, as designated by the awarding instituti on.

Other examples include certificates in admin istrative support, computer programming, and medical records. An **associate's degree** normally requires at least 2, but less than 4 years, of full -time equivalent college work. A **bachelor's degree** is usually awarded by a 4 -year college or university and usua lly requires at least 4 years of full - time, college level work. A **post -**  **baccalaureate certificate** provides students who already hold a bachelor's degree with new or additional training in an area of specialization. Certificates typically require fewer course hours than do master's or doctoral degrees, and do not require a thesis or dissertation.

- 141 (including: chiropractic, dentistry, law, medicine, etc.) Help Text Indicate the highest level of education that you ever expect to complete at any school. If you do not plan to pursue any education

beyond what you are currently working on, indicate your current degree or program. Undergraduate level courses, no undergraduate degree or certificate expected means taking courses at the undergraduate level but not expecting to formally enroll in a degree or certificate program of any sort. Undergraduate certificates or diplomas usually take less than two years to complete and are usually designed to equip people with the skills needed for direct entry to employment or to earn a license such as a cosmetology license. Other examples include certificates in administrative support, computer programming, and medical records. An associate's degree normally requires at least 2, but less than 4 years, of full -time equivalent college work. A bachelor's degree is usually awarded by a 4 -year college or university and usually requires at lea st 4 years of full -time, college level work. Graduate level courses, no graduate degree or certificate expected means already holding an undergraduate degree or certifica te and enrolling in graduate - level courses beyond a bachelor's degree, but not expecti ng to formally enroll in a graduate degree program.
A post- baccalaureate certificate provides students who already hold a bachelor's degree with new or additional training in an area of specialization. Certificates typically require fewer course hours tha n do master's or doctoral degrees, and do not require a thesis or dissertation. Examples of this include certificates in accounting, computer science, and human resource management. A master's degree usually requires at least 2 years of full -time graduate - level work and may require a thesis or a practicum.
A post- master's certificate usually requires completion of 24 semester credit hours beyond the master's degree but does not meet the requirements of academic degrees at the doctoral level. A doctoral degree, research/scholarship is a Ph.D. or other doctor's degree that requires advanced work beyond the master's level, including the preparation and defense of a dissertation based on original research, or the planning and execution of an origi nal project d emonstrating substantial artistic or scholarly achievement. Some examples of this type of degree may include Ed.D., D.M.A., D.B.A., D.Sc., D.A., or D.M., and others, as designated by the awarding institution. A professional doctoral degree is a doctor's degree that is conferred upon completion of a program providing the knowledge and skills for the recognition, credential, or license required for professional practice. The degree is awarded after a period of study such that the total time to the degree, inc luding both pre - professional and professional preparation, equals at least six full - time equivalent academic years. Some of these degrees include: chiropractic (D.C., or D.C.M.); dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.); law (L.L.B. or J.D.); medicine (M.D.); optometry (O.D.), osteopathic medicine (D.O.); pharmacy (Pharm.D.); Podiatry (D.P.M., Pod.D., D.P.); or veterinary medicine (D.V.M.), and others, as designated by the awarding institution.
