Postsecondary Tracking

The Postsecondary Education Commission has a Custom Data Reports System that will produce a custom report that shows the number of students graduating from your high school that enrolled in a particular California college or university. You can use this system to find out which postsecondary institutions are attracting your students. Once you have this information, you will typically find the Information Technology courses are organized under the business department.
