EWU program completions and Spokane occupational demand

EWU's largest programs differ widely in how many in-demand Spokane occupations the NCES crosswalk maps them to. Business Administration and Management (353), Social Work (188), Accounting (137) each map to several. Education (287 completions, one mapped occupation), Multi-/Interdisciplinary Studies (96 completions, no mapped occupations) map to few, because the crosswalk links those broad fields to few occupations. Counting every regional college, the widest gaps between projected openings and graduate supply are Registered Nurses (1,950 openings against 381 regional graduates, 39 from EWU); Accountants and Auditors (862 openings against 270 regional graduates, 137 from EWU); Business Operations Specialists (953 openings against 502 regional graduates, 362 from EWU).

EWU conferred 3,463 degrees across 110 programs in 2022. The largest are Business Administration (353), Education (287), and Social Work (188).

All 110 programs, ranked by 2022 completions. Openings are summed across the Spokane occupations the NCES crosswalk maps each program's field to; one occupation can be mapped by several programs, so the column counts it once per program and is not a regional total.

General and interdisciplinary CIPs map to few occupations in the NCES crosswalk: Education, General (287 completions) maps to one, and 5 programs map to none, because teacher-preparation and interdisciplinary completions are filed under specific CIPs that appear as their own rows. Those programs' openings counts are lower bounds.

Spokane is projected to need about 1,950 registered nurses a year. The region's colleges together graduate about 381, of which EWU produces 39. That is the widest gap between projected annual openings and regional completions among the occupations an EWU program feeds. 8 more occupations meet the same rule: at least 150 openings a year with the region's combined supply below half of them.

Bachelor's-level or higher occupations (O*NET Job Zones 4 and 5), ranked by projected annual openings. Supply is the 2022 completions in the programs the crosswalk maps to the occupation: EWU's output, then the regional total across all 8 Spokane-area colleges (EWU included). Both are upper bounds.

Supply shows EWU's 2022 completions in the feeding programs, then the regional total across Gonzaga, Spokane CC, Spokane Falls CC, Whitworth, Carrington (Spokane), Whitworth (Adult), Great Northern and EWU; hover the regional figure for the per-school breakdown. Shortage marks an occupation an EWU program feeds where projected openings are at least 150 a year and the region's combined supply is below half of them (9 occupations); this counts every regional college, so it does not overstate the gap. Both supply figures are upper bounds: the same graduates are counted toward each occupation their field maps to, and not every graduate enters the occupation or stays in Spokane, so the column does not sum. For health occupations the regional figure is also a partial undercount, because Washington State University's Spokane health-sciences campus reports under its Pullman UnitID and cannot be separated. No EWU program means the crosswalk links no EWU-reported CIP to the occupation, sometimes a matter of how a program is filed rather than a true absence. Wages are blank where not published at the Spokane metro level. The 130 some-college occupations (O*NET Job Zone 3, about 18,788 openings a year) are not in this view.
