This "Fact File" provides information about the colleges and universities that are members of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Ohio (AICUO). This organization represents a diverse group of 51 independent, nonprofit institutions of higher education in Ohio. In the fall of 2001, AICUO member institutions enrolled 122,866 students, 33% of the college students enrolled in Ohio. Students of traditional college age made up only 67% of the total student enrollment at Ohio independent colleges and universities. Many of the new students at these institutions were transfers, and more than half of the transfers were from Ohio's public two- and four-year institutions. Approximately 30% came from outside the state. In keeping with enrollment figures, Ohio's independent institutions granted 36% of the state's bachelor's degrees. Independent institutions made a significant impact on Ohio's economy, and the state reaped a significant return on its investment in independent colleges and their students. Only 4% of Ohio's higher education budget went to independent colleges, yet these institutions graduated about 22% of all students attending two- and four-year institutions in the state. Ohio independent colleges and universities provided $345 million in financial aid to their students, applied to the average tuition and fees of $16,226 a year. Members of the AICUO are listed. (SLD)
