Summarize how your program met or did not meet the target measures based on the data above
The program data shows all targets were met and exceeded for the Pre-Health Sciences Certificate - Pre-Med. Though the average class fill rate is well above 60%, and there was an increase compared to the previous year. The average class size and the average C-Pass rate remained consistent with the previous year. It should also be noted that 100% of the classes were covered by full-time faculty which is a discrepancy with the reported statistic of 32%.
