Higher Education Enrollments: Community Colleges, Fall 1977. Report No. 78-3A.
Curry, Denis; Johnson, Jackie
This report reviews trends in Washington State community college system enrollments from fall 1973 through fall 1977. The first section presents changes in total enrollments by full-time equivalent (FTE) students and by headcount in academic, occupational, and community service areas. The second section deals with enrollment changes for the years 1973-1977 and the major components of enrollment during that time. It also reviews student demographic information, part- or full-time status, age, sex, veteran status, residency, ethnic origin, and intent. Highlights include the following: fall 1977 academic and occupational enrollments increased 9.7% in 1977 over the previous year, total headcount increased 10.6%, but FTE enrollment increased only 3.8%, a variance attributed to increasing numbers of part-time students; the average credit hour load declined from 8.4 to 8.1; the number of students under 30 increased by 5% but the number over 30 increased by 15% and accounted for 38% of total enrollment; students entering directly from high school and students transferring in from other institutions declined, but all other entrances increased as did retentions of previous enrollees; in general, student mobility among Washington public institutions declined substantially.
