The University of Kentucky Community College System was developed to meet the 3-fold function of providing career-oriented technical programs, pre-baccalaureate education, and adult-continuing education. This descriptive analysis is divided into four sections: Section I on enrollment emphasizes the 17.3%increase in enrollment in the system's 14 community colleges over the past year; Section II on instructional programs provides information including the enrollment, number of credit-hours offered, and number of graduates in the technical and transfer programs; Section III on financial support outlines the financing of the community college system (almost completely supported by appropriations of the state legislature), operation expenditures, and teacher salaries; ad Section IV on student characteristics compares students' academic characteristics (indicated by scores on the American College Test) with selected demographic characteristics.
