Book excerpt: These tables provide comprehensive information on undergraduates who were enrolled in U.S. postsecondary institutions during the 2007-08 academic year. Estimates for enrolled students are presented by attendance status, degree program, undergraduate major, average grades, student characteristics, financial aid status and credit card debt, work, community service, voting, disability status, and distance and remedial education. These tables are similar to those produced for the 1995-96, 1999-2000, and 2003-04 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS) undergraduate profiles, and they are grouped into six sections: Section 1 focuses on postsecondary enrollment and attendance, displaying estimates for all undergraduates by institution level, control and type, student class level, attendance status, distance from home, community college attendance, and participation in distance education. Section 2 provides percentage distributions of all undergraduates by degree program, undergraduate major, and average grades. Section 3 presents estimates by student characteristics, including sex, race/ethnicity, age, dependency status, income, marital status, responsibility for dependents, high school completion status, local residence while enrolled, citizenship status, and parents' education. Section 4 looks at financial aid and credit card debt. The analysis summarizes financial aid among all, dependent, and independent undergraduates, as well as the percentage of students with credit cards in their own name and, for those who carried a balance, the average and median monthly balance. Section 5 explores students' work, community service participation, and voting behavior. Estimates are reported by the number of hours spent working while enrolled, the amount and type of community service, and whether students were registered to vote and had ever voted. Section 6 presents estimates of undergraduate enrollment by students' disability status and remedial education coursetaking. A glossary is included. (Contains 68 tables and 2 endnotes.).

Book excerpt: From 1995-96 to 2007-08, the number of students enrolled in undergraduate education in the United States grew from about 16.7 million to 21 million. These Web Tables provide information on undergraduates during the 1995-96, 1999-2000, 2003-04, and 2007-08 academic years. Estimates are presented for all undergraduates and for undergraduates who attended public 2- and 4-year, private nonprofit, and for-profit institutions by student and enrollment characteristics, hours worked while enrolled, and community service activities. The tables are grouped into three sections. Section 1 presents estimates by selected student characteristics. The tables look at undergraduates' enrollment by age, gender, race/ethnicity, dependency status, marital status and parenthood, income, citizenship, type of high school attended, and parent education. Section 2 focuses on undergraduates' postsecondary enrollment and attendance. The tables display estimates by institution and program level, attendance intensity, in-state attendance, participation in distance education, remedial coursetaking, and attendance at more than one institution. Undergraduate major fields of study are presented for undergraduates who attended public and nonprofit 4-year institutions or were in an associate's degree program at a public 2-year institution. Section 3 looks at undergraduates' work and community service. The tables provide information about students' work intensity while enrolled, average and median hours worked per week, primary role as a student or an employee, participation in community service activities, and the average and median hours volunteered per month. A glossary is included. (Contains 30 tables and 2 endnotes.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The economics of American higher education are driven by one key factor--the availability of students willing to pay tuition--and many related factors that determine what schools they attend. By digging into the data, economist Nathan Grawe has created probability models for predicting college attendance. What he sees are alarming events on the horizon that every college and university needs to understand. Overall, he spots demographic patterns that are tilting the US population toward the Hispanic southwest. Moreover, since 2007, fertility rates have fallen by 12 percent. Higher education analysts recognize the destabilizing potential of these trends. However, existing work fails to adjust headcounts for college attendance probabilities and makes no systematic attempt to distinguish demand by institution type. This book analyzes demand forecasts by institution type and rank, disaggregating by demographic groups. Its findings often contradict the dominant narrative: while many schools face painful contractions, demand for elite schools is expected to grow by 15+ percent. Geographic and racial profiles will shift only slightly--and attendance by Asians, not Hispanics, will grow most. Grawe also use the model to consider possible changes in institutional recruitment strategies and government policies. These "what if" analyses show that even aggressive innovation is unlikely to overcome trends toward larger gaps across racial, family income, and parent education groups. Aimed at administrators and trustees with responsibility for decisions ranging from admissions to student support to tenure practices to facilities construction, this book offers data to inform decision-making--decisions that will determine institutional success in meeting demographic challenges"--

Download or read book New Americans in Postsecondary Education written by Sandra Staklis and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Statistics in Brief describes the undergraduate experiences of students who immigrated to the United States or who had at least one immigrant parent (second-generation Americans). The analysis compares these two groups with all undergraduates (excluding foreign students) and with third-or higher generation American undergraduates whose parents were born in the United States. The findings are based on data from the 2007-08 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:08), a nationally representative sample of more than 100,000 students enrolled in U.S. postsecondary institutions. NPSAS is the most comprehensive source of national data on the experiences of undergraduates in the United States and includes information on students' academic preparation for college, the types of institutions they attend, and their experiences while enrolled. This Statistics in Brief begins with an overview of immigrant and second-generation American undergraduates nationwide and in the six states for which representative data are available, and then focuses on the most prevalent racial/ethnic groups among these two groups--Asian and Hispanic students. Asian students reported the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent as their region of origin, and Hispanic students reported their country or region of origin as Cuba, Mexico, South and Central America, or other Hispanic country or region. Undergraduates in Puerto Rico or who reported that they were of Puerto Rican descent are excluded from the analysis because their immigrant or generational status cannot be determined with available data (see appendix). Puerto Ricans and Other Hispanic Undergraduates are appended. (Contains 5 tables, 14 figures and 16 footnotes.).

Download or read book The Black Undergraduate written by Alexander W. Astin and published by Higher Education Research Institute. This book was released on 1990 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a national profile of black college freshmen in 1989-90 and shows how these students have changed based on the past 19 surveys (1971-1989), using data on 16,000-20,000 black freshmen from the Cooperative Institutional Research Program. The study focuses on a wide variety of characteristics of black college freshmen: family background, financial aid and college choice, academic factors, behavioral patterns, aspirations and plans, expectations for college, self-concept, and values and attitudes. Although the report focuses on black-white differences, it is emphasized that the items where substantial differences were found were considerably outnumbered by items that yielded minor or no differences. Major findings include: (1) black students reported lower family incomes and education level than white students; (2) black college freshmen have experienced declining access to financial aid in the form of federal grants and have been forced to rely more on student loans; (3) low tuition was a major factor in black students' decision about which college to attend; (4) black freshmen continue to be less well-prepared for college compared to their white counterparts; (5) career choices of black students do not reflect preference for careers in the sciences or college teaching.

Download or read book Profile of Degree written by Scott Ginder and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Student Right to Know Act requires institutions that participate in any student financial assistance program under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (as amended) to disclose graduation rates. To assist institutions in meeting this requirement, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) collects these rates as part of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) in the Graduation Rates component (GRS). The cohort for this rate comprises all full-time, first-time, degree- or certificate-seeking students. Students' inclusion in the GRS cohort is based on their attendance status and degree/certificate-seeking status at the time they first enter the institution. Subsequent changes in attendance status and degree/certificate-seeking status does not change students' inclusion or exclusion from the GRS cohort. Many students are not captured in the GRS cohort. For example, the cohort excludes students who started their first semester part time or who transferred from another postsecondary education institution. Additionally, because most GRS cohorts are based on fall enrollment, full-time students who enroll for the first time in the winter/spring semester are excluded. These Web Tables compare enrollment information for entering students included in the GRS cohort (full-time, first-time degree- or certificate-seeking students) to three other degree- or certificate-seeking entering student groups: (1) part-time, first-time students; (2) full-time, transfer-in students; and (3) part-time, transfer-in students. The Web Tables present the distribution of these four student groups across institutions possessing different characteristics and by the gender and race/ethnicity of the entering student population. Specifically, these Web Tables provide information on: (1) The distribution of entering degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students by attendance status and type of institution by select institutional characteristics (tables 1,d 3); (2) The distribution of entering degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students by attendance status and type of institution by gender (table 4); and (3) The distribution of entering degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students by attendance status and type of institution by race/ethnicity (table 5). A glossary is included. (Contains 15 tables and 1 endnote.).
