Main Campus Enrollment Trends

Dr. Clifton Franklund

Impetus for this report

  • The total headcount for the University is up by 143 to 14,146.
  • The total SCH count for the University up by 331.5 to 157,633.5.
  • CAS headcount is up but SCH is down by 1100.

     

  • The numbers numbers are difficult to interpret due to:
    • Dual-enrollment students (828 students)
    • Kendall College of Art and Design
    • Ferris Online (At least 999 students)
    • Conflicting program trends

Data used in this report

  • FSU SCH = Four-day headcounts for active courses
  • Transfer SCH = Banner WebFocus reports
  • Headcounts = Retention and Graduation reports

     

  • Online, KCAD, GR campus, and dual-enrollment students were removed from the analyses.

Freshman headcount trends

Courses with most transfer SCH

  • The top twenty courses accounted for 35% of all transferred SCH.
  • Ten of these are "core" Gen. Ed. courses.
  • Includes Social, Science, Communication, and Quantitative outcomes.

What trends can be seen?

  • SCH are aggregated by 5 areas. Biology, Communication, Social, Quantitative, and All
  • Trends are separated by semester.
  • SCH trends are tracked from 2008-2014.

Transfer SCH trends

How do these transfer trends affect FSU courses?

  • SCH are aggregated as before.
  • Trends are compared for fall semesters.
  • SCH from transfer and on-campus are compared.

SCH trends in top Gen Ed courses

Are these trends more broadly true in Gen Ed?

  • SCH are aggregated for BIOL101, BIOL103, BIOL111, and BIOL113.
  • Trends are compared for fall semesters.
  • SCH from transfer and on-campus are compared.

SCH trends in Biology Gen Ed courses

How does this affect our definition of Gen Ed?

  • Most (if not all) of our growth is in transfer and online students.
  • These students are not taking our "General Education" core.
  • Do these courses continue to demonstrate the value of a Ferris education if many do not actually take them from us?
  • How can we become more competitive? (online??)

What do these data mean to other stakeholders?

STRENGTH

  • Growing online and transfer cohorts keep our overall enrollment up.
  • Student numbers in our programs are growing.
  • These data suggest that our partnerships have been successful.

WEAKNESS

  • Main campus FTIAC enrollment is flat (or slightly declining).
  • General Education courses are not a competitive as they need to be.
  • Programs dependent upon these SCH may be at risk.
