Year of Third Most Recent Degree (3-year intervals)
This 4-digit code is based on Q_ED_3RD_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR. A 3-year range is calculated for Q_ED_3RD_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR with Q_ED_3RD_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR_3_YR_GROUPING containing the first year in the range. (For instance, the value 1974 would be stored for graduates of 1974, 1975 and 1976.)
Q_ED_3RD_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR_3_YR_GROUPING = 3 * the integer portion of (Q_ED_3RD_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR / 3)
This 4-digit code is based on Q_ED_3RD_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR. A 5-year range is calculated for Q_ED_3RD_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR with Q_ED_3RD_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR_5_YR_GROUPING containing the first year in the range. (For instance, the value 1970 would be stored for graduates of 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973 and 1974)
Q_ED_3RD_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR_5_YR_GROUPING =
5 * the integer portion of (Q_ED_3RD_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR / 5)
