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.

Download or read book Profile of Undergraduates in U S Postsecondary Education Institutions written by Laura Horn and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report profiles undergraduates enrolled in postsecondary education for the academic year 1992-93. It relies on data from the 1992-93 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study, third in a series conducted by the Department of Education. The report begins with an essay that explores the extent to which undergraduates have outside responsibilities and enrollment patterns that increase their risk of not attaining a degree or postsecondary certificate. Following the essay, a compendium of tables provides comprehensive information about enrollment patterns, programs of study, student characteristics, financial aid receipt and employment, students' educational aspirations, and their community service participation. Not since the 1970s has the typical postsecondary student been a recent high school graduate enrolled full-time at a four-year school, and working toward a Bachelor's degree. On the contrary, such students represented only about one-third of undergraduates enrolled in 1992-93. The first section of the compendium contains detailed risk factor tables, and the remaining sections are marked to highlight topic findings. (Contains 9 text tables, 8 figures, and 58 tables in the compendium.) (SLD)

Download or read book Demographics and the Demand for Higher Education written by Nathan D. Grawe and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 189 pages. 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.).
