The Montgomery College Student; A Profile of the Students Enrolled at Montgomery College During the Fall Semester of 1975.
Gell, Robert L.; And Others
Student enrollment for fall 1975 at Montgomery College totalled 13,907. This figure represents a rise of 1,278 from fall 1974, and a 4,372 rise from fall 1971, the first year for which comparative data are provided. This document provides a profile of the student body in terms of age, sex, race, marital status, residence status, country of origin, high school background, credit hours earned, class, status, curriculum, grade point average, employment, graduation, and future plans. Data are provided for fall 1975, and in many sections comparative data are presented for fall 1971-74. Where meaningful differences exist, day students are compared to evening students. With the recent growth in off-campus enrollment and the recent opening of a new campus, there have been some changes in the composition of the student body. Overall, more students are nonmatriculated (43 percent), female, over 25, and enrolled in one or two courses. While total enrollment has been increasing at about 10 percent per year, the number of students matriculated in transfer programs has declined for four straight years, the number of general education students has returned to 1973 levels after a decline last year, and career students continue to increase in number, though less dramatically than in the past. Nonmatriculated students, however, continue to increase at a rapid rate. (Author/NHM)
