Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges Annual 2013-14 Enrollment Report
Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges
The Annual 2013-14 Enrollment Report provides a snapshot of enrollment statistics in Washington's community and technical colleges during the 2013-2014 academic year. Highlighted trends include: (1) In 2013-14, the legislative target (includes university centers, private career schools and community-based organizations) for the system was 139,237 State Full-Time Equivalent Students (FTES). 143,294 FTES were actually served, 3 percent above the target; (2) Colleges enrolled a total of 182,677 FTES, all funds--a two percent decline from the previous year and an 8 percent decline from five years ago; (3) With the unemployment rate falling, more students are employed, therefore worker retraining FTES declined 12 percent from the year prior; (4) Colleges decreased FTES in all course content areas (state-funded workforce, academic, pre-college, and basic education for adults); (5) Running Start (a dual enrollment program that allows high school students to complete requirements for high school graduation and get a head start on college) enrollments increased by 8.5% from the previous year; (6) All eLearning FTES increased by 2,412 FTES or 6 percent over the prior year. A table of annual (2011 to 2014) comparisons by course intent and district is included.
