- Abstract
The Program Classification Structure (PCS) has been widely disseminated throughout the higher education community to provide a consistent means of identifying and organizing the program elements of higher education institutions. This technical report identifies, describes, and categorizes quantitative indicators into 6 program measures groups that provide information about each PCS program element as follows: (1) resource measures provide data on the personnel involved, the facilities and equipment utilized, and the supplies and services consumed; (2) financial measures indicate the funds obtained from various sources, the capital investment expenditures incurred for land, buildings, and equipment, and the operating expenditures spent for personnel, supplies and services; (3) beneficiary group measures describe the groups of people who benefitted; (4) target group measures identify the people, places or things toward whom or at which the activities of the program element were directed; (5) activity measures describe the types and levels of activities conducted; and (6) outcome measures indicate the outcomes or products generated as a result of the activities of the program element.
