What does TOP, CIP, and SOC Codes mean?
Taxonomy of Program (TOP) Codes are unique to California Community Colleges. They are utilized to report information on programs and courses with similar outcomes, to identify similar programs and their alignment with the labor market
Classifications of Instructional Programs (CIP) Codes are nationally utilized in higher education institutions to support and track fields of study and programs. facilitate the alignment of similar programs offered by 2- and 4-year postsecondary institutions with the needs of the labor market. There are more CIP Codes than TOP codes
Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) Codes are used nationally to classify and categorize occupations by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to provide framework for organizing and analyzing occupational data with various other datasets
