Analysis of Enrollment Trends for HCCC Programs and Academic Status Classifications, Fall 1993 to Fall 1999.
Taffy, Fred
The study of enrollment trends for each of Hudson County Community College's programs and for its academic status classifications will be used in the college's program reviews and should also prove useful in its strategic planning. The significant growth in combined Liberal Arts AA English/ Humanities and Business/Social Sciences program majors (n=532; 51.8%) should be reviewed in conjunction with overall declines in degree and certificate programs. Most certificate offerings reflect small enrollments and have been categorized as unstable. The significant growth in Academic Foundations (AF) students, who require math/English basic skills development, should come as no surprise given that the college has traditionally drawn most of its students from the most academically underprepared districts in Hudson County. Consideration should be given to the impact that growth in AF classifications will have on teaching/learning needs, student success, and retention as resources are planned for this area of the college. Decreases in enrollments in English as a Second Language (ESL) over the two most recent years should prompt consideration of whether this represents a need for increased recruitment activity, a change in demographics, and/or increased competition from proprietary/other institutions offering ESL instruction.
