Student Enrollments and CompletionsFiscal Year 2004

INTRODUCTION

The colleges in the Illinois Community College System submit detailed student records twice during each fiscal year. Fall opening enrollment(E1) data for credit-generating students are recorded by the colleges at the end of the regular fall registration period, which is usually the 10thday of the term. Annual student enrollment and completion (A1) data are reported for the small number of individuals who are officially enrolledat the college in credit coursework at any time during the fiscal year. An A1 record is also submitted for students who graduate, but are notofficially enrolled during the year. The N1 submission includes data on noncredit course enrollment. Since fiscal year 1999 the IllinoisCommunity College System has been using a noncredit enrollment database to house demographic and course information on the wide rangeof noncredit instruction provided annually. Previously, between fiscal year 1994 and 1998, only aggregate noncredit enrollment data wasgathered through the use of an annual survey. During the transition period (1999 through 2002), both detailed data (N1) and aggregate data(internet survey) were gathered. In fiscal year 2003, the transition to the N1 data system as the source of noncredit information was complete.

Fall enrollment data provide a point-in-time or "snapshot" of opening fall term enrollment allowing year-to-year and institution-to-institutioncomparisons and are comparable to fall enrollment data in postsecondary institutions nationwide. Looking at the fall and annual data for fiscalyear 2004 shows the substantial differences between the coverage of these submissions for Illinois community colleges. During the fall termincluded in fiscal year 2004, there were 365,019 students enrolled in credit coursework in public community colleges at the start of the semester.During the entire fiscal year of 2004, a total of 698,707 students took credit coursework at the colleges. Hence, over one-half of the students whoattended a community college during the entire fiscal year of 2004 were enrolled at the beginning of the fall term. Stated another way, communitycollege annual enrollments are nearly twice as large as the fall credit opening enrollments reflect. In the noncredit arena, the differences are evenmore pronounced as fall noncredit data only accounted for 31.5 percent of the annual 2004 noncredit enrollments. Hence, annual data more fullycaptures the impact of the community college system.

The diversity of the community college system and its students are best captured in annual student enrollment and completion records. . Students"stop in and out" of college according to their individual needs and may not always be enrolled at the beginning of a fall semester. The increasein module classes adds to the complexity of tabulating student enrollments at any given point-in-time. Additionally, with elevated emphasis onstudent outcomes and program effectiveness, analyses of student completions have become increasingly important. Therefore, the analyses inthis report focuses on annual enrollment and completion data in an effort to provide the most comprehensive and accurate information available.

This year’s report is based on fiscal year 2004 enrollments and completions and comparative information is supplied from the four previous fiscalyears (2000-2003) are also presented. Detailed tables comparing fiscal year 2003 and fiscal year 2004 credit headcount, full-time equivalent(FTE) enrollments, and graduates by college are included. FTE enrollments in this report are based on all credit hours attempted (includingnonreimbursable credit hours).

Comparisons of fiscal year 2000 through fiscal year 2004 unduplicatedcredit and noncredit headcount enrollments for each community collegeare provided in Appendix tables A-1 and B-1, respectively.

As depicted in Figure 1, credit-generating students account for 72.9percent of the overall fiscal year 2004 headcount. An examination of thefive-year period indicates that the proportion of credit-generating studentshas increased 6.6 percent since fiscal year 2000, when the proportion ofcredit-generating students was 66.3 percent of the overall studentpopulation. There was a noncredit enrollment decrease from fiscal year2000 to 2002 followed by an increase in 2003; however, over the pastyear, noncredit enrollment decreased again to the lowest level during thefive-year period.

Statewide, 31,484 students of the 959,081 total enrolled in both credit andnoncredit courses during fiscal year 2004 (A1 and N1). While there issome overlap, these data suggest that credit and noncredit courses aremeeting largely different student and community needs.

SOURCE OF DATA: Annual Enrollment (A1) Records

Table A-1 in the appendix provides a comparison of fiscal year 2000through fiscal year 2004 headcount enrollments for each communitycollege. Of the 48 community colleges, 24 colleges experiencedincreases in headcount while 17 exhibited decreases during fiscal year2004. Seven colleges experienced little or no change (1.0 percent or less)during fiscal year 2004. Table A-2 contains a comparison of FTEenrollments for fiscal years 2000 through 2004 and indicates that 32colleges experienced increases in FTE during fiscal year 2004, elevenexperienced decreases, and five colleges experienced little or no change.

Male/Female DistributionThe male/female distribution of students typically fluctuates little fromyear to year. Females comprised 55.9 percent of the student populationin fiscal year 2004. The percentage of male students has averaged 44.4percent over the past five years (see Table A-3).

Ethnic OriginIn fiscal year 2004, just over one-third (35.7 percent) of those attendingcredit courses in community colleges were minority (non-white) students.Minority representation remained virtually the same from fiscal year 2003to fiscal year 2004. During the past five years, minorities have comprisedan average of just over one-third (35.0 percent) of the student population.Hispanic students (now numbering 109,782) became the largest minoritygroup in 2000, followed by Black students (now numbering 101,453). Infiscal year 2004, the number of African American students enrolled inIllinois community colleges increased by 2.1 percent and the number ofHispanic students enrolled decreased slightly by 0.4 percent (see TableA-4).

Student AgeIn fiscal year 2004, the average age of the Illinois community collegestudent was 30.9 years, slightly younger than in fiscal year 2003. Themedian age was 26.3 years, again slightly younger than last year. Thelargest proportion of students (23.2 percent) was age 17 through 20, apercent change increase of 2.6 percent over fiscal year 2003. The secondlargest proportion of students (21.4 percent) was age 21 through 24, apercent change increase of 2.0 percent over fiscal year 2003. The thirdlargest proportion of students (18.7 percent) was age 40 through 55, apercent change decrease of 1.0 percent over fiscal year 2003. Duringfiscal year 2004, 15.4 percent of students were age 31 through 39 and15.7 percent were age 25 through 30. Always the smallest in size, the 16and under age group grew substantially (12.3 percent change), but stillrepresented only 1.1 percent of the student population in fiscal year 2004(see Table A-5).

Summary of Enrollments by Instructional Program AreaThe baccalaureate/transfer program is the largest instructional programoffered in the Illinois Community College System. Statewide, enrollmentin this program area has increased 1.9 percent over the past year and 16.0percent from fiscal year 2000 to 2004.

Career and technical education programs are the second largest creditprogram in the Illinois Community College System. Career and technicaleducation enrollments have increased 2.1 percent over last year and 8.4percent over the most recent five-year period. In the past year,enrollment in vocational skills programs increased by 0.3 percent andenrollment in general studies certificates decreased by 12.9 percent.Enrollment in general associate degree programs increased by 13.0percent in fiscal year 2004 (see Table A-6a).

Students enrolled in adult education courses comprised 18.1 percent ofthe credit generating students in fiscal year 2004. Hence, nearly one outof five community college students is enrolled in adult education skillsbuilding coursework. Statewide, there was a 3.9 percent decrease in adulteducation enrollments over the previous year. In fiscal year 2004, 58.3percent of the students in adult education were enrolled in English as aSecond Language (ESL) courses. This is down slightly from 58.7 percentin fiscal year 2003.

The City Colleges of Chicago account for 41.0 percent of statewidecommunity college adult education enrollment. Adult educationenrollment at the City Colleges of Chicago decreased compared to lastyear (-7.0 percent). This coincides with the decrease in overall enrollment(-3.2 percent) for City Colleges of Chicago. Excluding the City Collegesof Chicago, there was a 1.7 percent decrease in adult educationenrollment in fiscal year 2004. Hence, across the rest of the communitycollege system, there is less of a decrease in adult education enrollments.(see Table A-6a and A-6b).

Excluding the City Colleges of Chicago, the remainder of the systemexperienced a long-term increase in enrollments (6.8 percent) across allinstructional program areas between 2000 and 2004. Analysis ofinstructional program area information, excluding City Colleges of

Chicago data, produces mostly positive results. A moderate long-termincrease was exhibited in baccalaureate/transfer programs (12.4 percent)between fiscal years 2000 and 2004. Adult education growth was 12.6percent over the same five-year period. The general associate programsrecorded 21.0 percent growth, excluding the City Colleges of Chicago.There was a moderate increase (8.4 percent) in career and technicaleducation program enrollment and a moderate decrease (-9.7 percent) invocational skills program enrollment (see Table A-6b).

Instructional Program Enrollments by Gender. During fiscal year 2004,females outnumbered males in all instructional areas; the adult education(ABE/ASE/ESL) programs contained the highest proportion of malestudents (46.8 percent). The highest proportion of female students wereenrolled in the general associate degree program (61.6 percent) followedclosely by the general studies certificate program (60.7 percent). Thebaccalaureate/transfer program consisted of 58.4 percent female students,while 54.6 percent of those enrolled in vocational programs were female(see Table A-7).

Instructional Program Enrollments by Racial/Ethnic Origin. Figure 2illustrates the distribution of minorities in the two largest program areas,baccalaureate/transfer and career/ technical education. An examination ofeach racial/ethnic group's representation across program areas in fiscalyear 2004 indicates that the largest percentage of white (42.2 percent),Asian (40.8 percent), Black (37.2 percent), American Indian (36.5percent), and Nonresident Alien students (35.6 percent) were enrolled inbaccalaureate/transfer programs. The highest percentage of Hispanic(46.7 percent) students and were enrolled in English as a SecondLanguage programs. Overall, minority students were least represented inthe vocational skills (16.3 percent), general studies certificate (19.8percent), and baccalaureate/transfer (28.4 percent) areas (see Table A-8).

Instructional Program Enrollments by Age. During fiscal year 2004, 45.3percent of community college students were under 25 years of age. Morethan half (52.6 percent) of the students under 25 were enrolled inbaccalaureate/transfer programs.

Fig. 2. Fiscal Year 2004 Minority Enrollments in Baccalaureate/Transfer and Career/ Technical Education Programs

Overall, almost one-third (30.8 percent) of the student population wasbetween 25-39 years of age. Approximately 31.4 percent of students inthis age group were enrolled in the career and technical educationprogram area, while 28.8 percent were enrolled in baccalaureate/transferprograms. More than one-fifth (22.9 percent) of Illinois' communitycollege students were at least 40 years of age. Nearly one-third (31.8percent) of students 40 years of age and older were enrolled in career andtechnical education programs. Students 40 years of age and older alsohad substantial enrollment in vocational skills (24.4 percent) andbaccalaureate/transfer (21.1 percent) programs (see Table A-9).

Largest Occupational Programs. An examination of career and technicaleducation curricula with at least 5,000 students enrolled during either ofthe last two years revealed some changes in the top five curriculaaccording to program size. With 14,160 students, Associate DegreeNursing remained the largest program, as enrollment increased by 9.1

percent (1,179 students). Criminal Justice Technology (N = 8,231)became the second largest program as it increased by 4.1 percent (321students). Likewise, Child Care Provider/Assistant, increased moderately(4.2 percent; 324 students) and became the third largest program in 2004.Business Data Programming was the fourth largest program as it droppeda substantial 21.2 percent (1,953 students) since the previous year.Business Administration & Management showed a slight decrease inenrollment of 1.8 percent (-107 students), remaining the fifth largestprogram (see Table A-10).

Instructional Program Enrollments by Intent. Intent data convey theprimary goal that the student wants to achieve as a result of his/herstudies. Intent data are self-reported by students when they initiallyenroll at the college. Students are asked to update this informationperiodically by providing a current intent, as well as entry intent. Anexamination of the intent data across program areas illustrates thediversity of student interests and needs that Illinois community collegesserve. Three goals combined represent the aspirations of 60.9 percent ofcommunity college students: 29.5 percent were preparing for transfer toa four-year institution, 14.9 percent were improving their basic skills/preparing for the GED, and 16.5 percent were preparing for a jobimmediately after community college.

Examination of student intent by program area reveals interestingobservations. With the exception of adult education, career and technicaleducation, and baccalaureate/transfer programs, less than half of thestudents in any program area were pursuing the particular goal most oftenassociated with a given major. Only 57.8 percent of those studentsenrolled in baccalaureate/transfer programs indicated they intended totransfer to a four-year institution. Similarly, just 61.2 percent of thestudents in career and technical education programs enrolled with theintent of preparing for a job after community college or to improve theirpresent job skills. About three-quarters (75.3 percent) of the ABE/ASEand ESL students listed a desire to remedy basic skills deficiencies or toprepare for the GED test as their reason for enrolling in these programs(see Table A-11).


Page 5

Instructional Program Enrollments by Degree Objective. Degreeobjective data are also self-reported and are designed to assist colleges inclassifying students by curriculum or course enrollee category. Theobjective conveys the student's expected outcome from attending thecommunity college. In fiscal year 2004, 52.0 percent of all studentsindicated that they were enrolling with no intention of pursuing adegree — only to complete one or several courses. A review of studentobjectives by program area reveals expected results: 58.6 percent of thebaccalaureate/transfer students planned to complete an associate degree,while 36.8 percent were interested in completing one or several courses.Less than half (43.4 percent) of the career and technical educationstudents indicated they expected to complete an associate degree, while34.4 percent expected to complete one or several courses. Nearly 22percent wanted to complete a certificate. These data illustrate the varietyof aspirations among students enrolled in community college career andtechnical education programs. While many students complete an entireprogram, others simply want to improve their current skills or obtain newskills to enter a different career. In ESL, general studies, ABE/ASE, andvocational programs, the vast majority (93.9; 95.0; 92.1; and 92.2percent, respectively) of students planned only to complete one or severalcourses (see Table A-12).

Enrollment Hours by Term and Type of AttendanceMore than nine out of ten students (91.1 percent) attending during thesummer term of fiscal year 2004 were part-time (less than nine credithours). Almost 71 percent of the students attended college on a part-time(less than 12 credit hours) basis during the fall semester. The part-timeproportion was slightly higher (72.9 percent) in the spring. In a patternnot typical among higher education institutions, Illinois communitycolleges enrollment during the fall (413,159) and spring semesters(417,560) was similar (see Table A-13). Statewide, 234,434 studentsattended in both the fall and spring semesters.

Highest Degree Earned by Students Prior to AttendingCommunity College

The prior earned degree data reiterate that community colleges servediverse populations. Figure 3 illustrates the educational background offiscal year 2004 students. Among the 65.6 percent of students whoreported their prior degrees (excluding adult education students whowould typically not possess earned degrees), 18.1 percent earned sometype of postsecondary certificate or degree. More than 14 percent hadalready earned degrees at or beyond the community college level (seeTable A-14).

Attempted vs. Earned Credit HoursAt all colleges and universities, there are students who, for a variety ofreasons, are unable or unwilling to complete the requirements for theclass(es) in which they enroll. In fiscal year 2004, Illinois communitycollege students completed 5,612,241 credit hours, 76.3 percent of theirattempted hours. Overall, full-time students earned a higher percent ofattempted hours than did part-time students (see Table A-15).


Page 6

Accumulated College-Level Credit HoursOf the 486,233 students (69.6 percent) for whom data were available,about two-thirds (66.6 percent) had accumulated less than 30 college-level hours (freshman level). Nearly 20 (19.8) percent had accumulatedbetween 30 to 59 credit hours (sophomore status), and 13.6 percentearned 60 or more credit hours (See Table A-16).

Grade Point AveragesCumulative grade point average data were available for 66.4 percent ofthe students enrolled in fiscal year 2004. Approximately 82.7 percent ofthe students had grade point averages of 2.01 or above, which is a “C”average or higher. Slightly more than 36 percent had achieved gradepoint averages between 2.01 and 3.00 (“C” to “B”), while 46.4 percenthad achieved grade point averages in the 3.01 to 4.00 (“B” to “A”) range(see Table A-17).

High School Graduation Percentile RankHigh school class rank was reported for 14.4 percent of the fiscalyear 2004 community college students. Of this population, 4.2 percentwere in the top 10 percent of their graduating class, while 47.3 percentgraduated in the top half of their class (see Table A-18).

ACT Scores of Community College StudentsACT score data were available for 12.4 percent of the students enrolledin fiscal year 2004. Slightly over 60 (60.2) percent of the studentsreceived a 19 or higher on the ACT exam. A minimum of 18 on the ACTexam is typically required for acceptance into many colleges oruniversities. For those fiscal year 2004 students from whom data weregathered, the average ACT score was 19.8. The median score was 20.0(see Table A-19).

FISCAL YEAR 2004 STUDENT NONCREDIT COURSE ENROLLMENTS

Student Noncredit Course Enrollment by Community CollegeIllinois community colleges provide a wide range of noncredit instructionto meet a variety of community needs. Table 3 contains comparativenoncredit enrollment data for the last five years. Fiscal year 1994 was thefirst year in which annual noncredit course enrollment data werecollected. Note that noncredit course enrollment figures for fiscal year2000 through 2001 are the higher value of information generated by theNoncredit Course Enrollment Data submission (N1) or the AnnualNoncredit Enrollment Survey. Beginning in fiscal year 2002, data arefrom the Noncredit Course Enrollment database (N1) which includes anindividual record for each student.

Fiscal year 2004 is the sixth year that the Illinois Community CollegeSystem has undertaken data collection through a noncredit courseenrollment database (N1). The transition period from the paper surveyto the database is complete.

During fiscal year 2004, Illinois community colleges conducted 26,363noncredit course sections, about 3.5 percent fewer than the previous year.This number of course offerings was well below the number offered infiscal year 2000. From fiscal year 2000 to fiscal year 2004, the totalnumber of course sections offered through the colleges decreased 22.4percent.

Despite recent decreases in course offerings, noncredit offerings continueto be an important part of college efforts to meet community andemployer needs. Figure 4 indicates that student enrollments havedecreased since last fiscal year. During fiscal year 2004, the unduplicatednoncredit headcount (in which students are counted only once, regardlessof the number of noncredit courses in which they enroll) decreased 6.1percent. Over a longer time frame, unduplicated noncredit headcountshave decreased 23.3 percent over the last five fiscal years. Theduplicated headcount (also known as “seatcount”) during fiscal year 2004was 7.9 percent lower than the previous fiscal year and 26.3 percentlower than five years earlier.

The number of noncredit course offerings and enrollments at thecommunity colleges varies from year to year, depending on the needs ofthe surrounding communities. Comparisons of fiscal year 2000 throughfiscal year 2004 noncredit headcount enrollments and course sectionsconducted for each community college are provided in Appendix TablesB-1, B-2, and B-3.

Reasons for the recent declines in noncredit activity and participationvary by locality. Part of the reason for these declines may be traced to theeconomy. The state and national economy has been in a recessionary

period over the last four years. Some individuals and businesses havefewer discretionary funds and are searching for ways to cut theirexpenses. Additionally, selected colleges may still be encountering someresistence from participants in noncredit courses about providingcomplete information to create the Noncredit Course Enrollment Datasubmission (N1). Likewise, noncredit coursework is offered by multipleentities within each college. Reporting may be more complete from someentities within the college than others. Records were not added to thenoncredit database unless the category of activity information wassupplied – business/industry contract; professional/vocationaldevelopment; personal/social development; and youth programs. Thenoncredit database requires more detailed reporting.

Characteristics of Noncredit StudentsCollege officials are recognized for the substantial effort they put intocollecting these detailed data on noncredit students. Due to extensivework by college officials, sufficient information is available to provideadditional information about the characteristics of the students enrolledin noncredit coursework at community colleges. Yet, there tends to be

more unknown/unreported information in the noncredit submission thanin the credit data. Cited percentages among noncredit enrollments arebased on the reported (known) data. Student characteristic informationis based on unduplicated counts. Information pertaining to courseofferings is based on duplicated counts, since course attributes change.

Noncredit Student Gender. Similar to the distribution for creditprograms, female students accounted for 57.1 percent of 2004 noncreditenrollments for which gender data were reported. Approximately one inten students did not provide gender data. Gender data by category ofactivity show that most missing gender information was amongindividuals enrolled in personal and social development courses (seeTable B-4).

Noncredit Student Ethnic Origin. Racial/ethnic reporting amongnoncredit students was less complete than among credit students, asnearly one-third (30.1 percent) of noncredit records were missingracial/ethnic data. Minority students accounted for nearly one-quarter(24.6 percent) of the individuals enrolled in noncredit programs whosupplied racial/ethnic data. In credit programs during the past five years,minorities accounted for an average of about one-third of the studentpopulation. Available noncredit data indicated the following racial/ethnicdistribution: White(75.5 percent), Black (11.0 percent), Hispanic (8.0percent), Asian (4.5 percent), Alien (0.8 percent), and American Indian(0.3 percent) (see Table B-5).

Noncredit Student Age. Based on available data, the average age ofstudents enrolled in noncredit coursework during fiscal year 2004 was37.1 years and the median age was 36.8 years. Age information wasmissing for just over one-quarter (26.0 percent) of noncredit students. Asdepicted in Figure 5, available data indicated that during 2004 noncreditprogramming served a more mature clientele than credit courses. One-half (50.1 percent) of noncredit students were 40 years of age or above.One-third (33.4 percent) of noncredit students were between 40 and 55years of age and another 28.7 percent were age 25 and 39. Just over one-fifth (21.3 percent) of noncredit students were under 25 years of age (seeTable B-6).


Page 9

Noncredit Category of Activity (Duplicated)For state reporting purposes, noncredit coursework is grouped into fourbroad categories: Business and Industry Contract, Professional/Vocational Development, Personal and Social Development, and YouthPrograms. Records were not added to the database unless the categoryof activity information was supplied. Duplicated noncredit enrollmentcounts are used in the category of activity information depicted in Figure6 (also see Table B-12).

Based on a duplicated count, 54.1 percent of the noncredit offerings werein the personal and social development category. Personal and socialdevelopment programming is an important community service providedby the colleges. Typically, these courses are offered as long as demandis sufficient to at least cover the cost of course delivery. Nearly one-third(29.8 percent) of the noncredit coursework was dedicated to developingworkplace skills: professional/vocational (20.6 percent) and business and

industry contractual training (9.2 percent). These courses meet the needsof area residents who are interested in acquiring specific new skillswithout earning academic credit. Providing customized training is animportant economic development activity in which colleges tailorinstruction to the specific needs of local employers. Illinois communitycolleges are relied upon extensively to develop and deliver courseworkaddressing the unique training requirements of area businesses,industries, and governmental organizations. The remaining 16.2 percenthelped serve the needs of youth in the community (i.e., academicenrichment activities, athletic skills building, study skills, etc.).

Largest Noncredit Offerings (Duplicated)Two-digit classification of instructional program (CIP) codes provideadditional information about the areas where noncredit instruction wereprovided. Percentages cited are based on known CIP codes.

Across all categories of activity, eight programs (two-digit CIP) had over8,000 noncredit students enrolled. These eight program areas accounted


Page 10

for nearly two-thirds (65.2 percent) of the students enrolled in noncreditcourses where CIP data were reported. Thirty-eight percent of theenrollments were in work-related programs: business management (19.2percent), transportation workers (10.1 percent), health professions (4.7percent) and computer information systems (4.0 percent). The twolargest programs, each enrolling over 50,000 students were in thefollowing areas: leisure and recreation (31.7 percent) and selfimprovement (21.8 percent). Basic skill development accounted for 4.9percent of those enrolled in these eight programs (see Table B-7).

Noncredit Term of Attendance (Duplicated)

Term of enrollment was provided for all noncredit coursework for fiscalyear 2004 (see Table B-9). The distribution of enrollments by term wasas follows: spring (40.2 percent), fall (31.5 percent), summer (26.4percent), and winter (1.9 percent). Overall, the distribution is similar tofiscal year 2004 credit offerings with somewhat higher summer noncreditactivity and lower fall noncredit enrollments.

Noncredit Enrollment Distribution by Site/Location (Duplicated)For state reporting purposes, five broad instructional site locations havebeen identified: Main Campus, Off-campus College Owned, Off-campusCollege-leased, Community Based, and Business Based. Acquiring morecomplete information about community college facility utilization andneeds was one of the underlying reasons for collecting more detailednoncredit data. Complete data were available on the instructional site andFigure 8 shows that most enrollment occurred on main college campuses(See Table B-8).

Further information about the differences between the categories follows.Community-based sites are rented or leased, with site maintenance andupkeep the responsibility of the organization furnishing the space. Off-campus college-leased sites are controlled by the college, with sitemaintenance and upkeep the responsibility of the college. Off-campuscollege-owned facilities are college-controlled branch or extension centersites located away from the main campus. Business-based sites areprovided by businesses who contract for training services.

FISCAL YEAR 2004 COMPLETIONS

Degrees and Certificates Awarded by Community College The number of collegiate-level degrees and certificates awarded toIllinois community college students in fiscal year 2004 totaled 47,986.Table 4 contains comparative completion data for the last five years. Thenumber of degrees and certificates awarded increased by 5.9 percent overfiscal year 2003. Compared to fiscal year 2000, the total number of fiscalyear 2004 completions increased 37.9 percent.

Table C-1 in the appendix provides a comparison of fiscal year 2000through fiscal year 2004 duplicated completions for each communitycollege. Compared to last year, among the 48 colleges, 27 experiencedincreases in degree and certificate awards, while 17 exhibited decreasesin the past year. Four colleges experienced little or no change.

Degrees and Certificates Awarded by Program CategoriesOf the 47,986 completions during fiscal year 2004, 68.9 percent werecareer and technical education degrees or certificates. Baccalaureate/transfer degrees accounted for 29.2 percent of all the collegiate-levelcompletions. Among these baccalaureate/transfer degrees, the associatein arts degree was most commonly awarded (61.0 percent). Almost onethird (31.1 percent) of the baccalaureate/transfer degrees earned wereassociate in science degrees. The proportion of AA degrees granted hasbeen remarkably stable over the past five years. The total number oftransfer degrees awarded increased 3.1 percent from last fiscal year(14,022 in FY 2004 versus 13,599 in FY 2003). Overall, the number ofbaccalaureate/transfer degrees awarded in fiscal year 2004 increasedmoderately from fiscal year 2000 (9.1 percent).

Overall career and technical education completions are up 7.2 percentcompared to last year. Further examination of career and technicaleducation degrees and certificates awarded in fiscal year 2004 shows that26.4 percent were associate in applied science degrees. The number ofassociate in applied science degrees increased 2.8 percent since fiscalyear 2003. More than one-half (56.8 percent) of the career completionswere for certificates of less than one year. There was a moderate increasein the number of vocational skills certificates awarded in fiscal year 2004(15.2 percent; 38 additional certificates). A longer term comparison offiscal year 2004 career and technical education completions to thoseawarded five years earlier reveals that the total number of awardsincreased by 58.4 percent. A closer look shows that this is due to thesubstantial increase in short-term certificates (11,352 students or 152.5percent). The number of long-term certificates awarded also increased(15.5 percent), but much less dramatically. Between fiscal years 2000and 2004, there was an overall increase in associate in applied sciencedegrees (1.7 percent) and no change in vocational skills certificatesawarded.

Fig. 8. FY 2004 Associate Degrees Earned by Minority Students

Summary of Graduates by Degree CategoriesGender of Graduates by Degree Category. During fiscal year 2004,female students earned nearly six out of ten degrees and certificates (57.0percent). The three degrees and certificates attained by the highestproportion of females were the associate in arts (63.8 percent), associatein applied science (66.2 percent), and vocational skills certificate (71.5percent). Although small in overall number (103), associate inengineering science — one of the newest degree programs in the IllinoisCommunity College System — had the highest proportion of malegraduates (81.6 percent). Certificates of less than one year were thespecific award category with the largest number of male graduates(9,546). The male/female distribution within the baccalaureate/transferdegree and career and technical education degree and certificate areasdrive the overall gender proportion (see Table C-3).

Racial/Ethnic Origin of Graduates by Degree Category. Thirty percentof all degrees and certificates in fiscal year 2004 were awarded tominority (nonwhite) students. Twenty percent of all fiscal year 2004baccalaureate/transfer degrees were earned by minority students, themajority of which were associate in arts degrees (71.2 percent), while25.7 percent were associate in science degrees. The overall proportion ofminority baccalaureate/transfer completers was similar to last year (68.8percent associate in arts and 26.3 percent associate in science). Morethan four times as many minority graduates completed career andtechnical education degrees and certificates (11,242) than baccalaureate/transfer degrees (2,724). Almost twice as many Black students (7,229)completed collegiate-level programs than did Hispanic students (3,917)in fiscal year 2004 (see Table C-4). Figure 8 illustrates the distributionof minority students who successfully completed degree programs in theIllinois Community College System during fiscal year 2004.

Age of Graduates by Degree Category. Twelve percent of all completerswere in the under 21 year old age group. These graduates werepredominately (52.0 percent) in career and technical education programs.The 21-24 age group accounted for 30.7 percent of all graduates, whilethe 25-30 and 31-39 age groups accounted for 18.4 and 17.5 percent,respectively. Nearly 41 percent of students 30 and under completedbaccalaureate/transfer degrees, while only 11.1 percent of graduates over

the age of 30 completed baccalaureate/transfer programs. More than fourout of five (86.6 percent) graduates over 30 earned career and technicaleducation degrees and certificates. In general, the proportion of careerand technical education graduates increased as age advanced (seeTable C-5).

Intent of Graduates by Degree Category. Self-reported intent datadisclose the primary goal a student wants to achieve as a result of his/herstudies. The community colleges examine current intent versus studentintent at the time of initial enrollment at the college. In these analyses,current intent (when available) was analyzed to reflect the changing needsand desires of the community college student. Only 74.6 percent ofstudents who attained a baccalaureate/transfer degree in fiscal year 2004


Page 13

indicated that they intended to prepare for transfer to a four-yearinstitution. Just over one-tenth (10.4 percent) of these successful studentsindicated a desire to prepare for a job immediately after communitycollege or to improve present job skills — intent that would most oftenbe associated with seeking a career and technical education degree orcertificate. Likewise, only 63.2 percent of those students who attained acareer and technical education degree or certificate indicated they werepreparing for a job immediately after completing community college orimproving present job skills. One-fifth (20.0 percent) of the career andtechnical education graduates indicated that they were preparing fortransfer to a four-year institution. Pursuing a career and technicaleducation degree does not preclude a student from transferring to a four-year institution (see Table C-6).

Degree Objective of Graduates by Degree Category. The self-reporteddegree objective provides an indication of the student's expected outcomefrom attending the community college, and one might anticipate that theywould mirror student completion patterns. More than three-quarters (79.6percent) of the students who earned baccalaureate/transfer degrees infiscal year 2004 indicated that they enrolled with a desire to complete anassociate degree. However, 16.7 percent indicated that they wanted tocomplete only one or several courses and were not pursuing a degree. Areview of career and technical education graduates reveals the samepattern; 77.8 percent of the career and technical education students whoearned an associate in applied science degree had listed completing anassociate degree as their objective, but 21.9 percent of the students whohad planned to only complete one or several courses or a certificate endedup surpassing their goal by earning an associate in applied science degree(see Table C-7).

SUMMARY

As indicated by the demographic data presented in this report, the IllinoisCommunity College System serves a diverse student clientele through avariety of credit and noncredit programs and courses. For studentsenrolled in credit coursework, more than half are female (55.9 percent),more than one-third are of minority ethnicity (35.8 percent), and morethan a third of students are 31 years of age or above (38.6 percent).Available information on students enrolled in noncredit courses shownearly identical gender representation (57.1 percent female), less minorityparticipation with about one-quarter minority students in noncreditcoursework, and participation by a more mature population in noncreditcourses with just over two-thirds of the students 31 years of age or above.

In the past year, there was a slight increase of 0.8 percent in creditenrollment in the community college system. However, coupled with adecrease of 6.1 percent in noncredit enrollment, there was an overalldecline of 1.2 percent in combined community college enrollment. Theeconomic climate in fiscal year 2004 is one factor influencing thenoncredit enrollment decline. In tight economic times, some individualsand businesses have fewer discretionary funds and are searching for waysto reduce their expenses. In the long run, investing in education andtraining makes sense for both individuals and employers.

In fiscal year 2004, community colleges as a whole experienced anincrease in completions (5.9 percent) compared to last year. Remarkably,this is the fifth consecutive year of increase in the number of communitycollege system graduates. Of the 47,986 completions during fiscal year2004, 49.3 percent were associate degrees, and 50.7 percent werecertificates. Fiscal year 2004 was the first time that certificates awardedoutnumbered associate degrees. In an era of increased accountability,fully capturing and reporting graduates through the Annual Enrollmentand Completion Submission (A1) is becoming increasingly important.At the same time, it is recognized that there are individuals served bycommunity colleges who attend with an exclusive interest in completingparticular courses to provide specific skills for success in their chosenfield. Fiscal year 2004 data show that 52.0 percent of all students identify

themselves as not pursuing a formal award. Approximately 34.4 percentof the career and technical education students reported attending tocomplete one or several courses. Yet, there are individuals attendingcommunity colleges who meet certificate and sometimes degreerequirements, but either do not recognize that they have done so or do notfile the necessary paperwork to receive their formal academic award. Topromote student success, each achievement should be recognized as it isaccomplished.

Systemwide over the past two years, in conjunction with a PostsecondaryPerkins initiative, community colleges have been undertaking projectsto develop, implement, or expand upon local computerized automateddegree and certificate audit systems. These efforts will continue throughthe next fiscal year. Results of these systemwide efforts are contributingto positive results as the number of certificates awarded has nearlydoubled over the past five fiscal years. Over the same time period, thesystem has seen an increase of nearly 38 percent in the total number ofcertificates and degrees awarded. Computerized certificate and degreeaudits are useful in recognizing student accomplishments and helpingstudents reach their goals. The implementation of automated degreeaudits has an up-front cost and requires an ongoing commitment to keepthese computerized systems updated as degree and certificaterequirements can change frequently and the list of permitted electivestends to be extensive. Yet, investing in processes that promote studentsuccess and student outcomes are a priority for community colleges.

Overall, the large number of students served through credit and/ornoncredit courses affirms that the Illinois Community College Systemcontinues to adapt to the evolving educational needs of the communitieseach college serves. Recognizing and encouraging student progress andoutcomes is a priority. Student completions are being captured morefully. Ongoing efforts to promote degree and certificate completion forstudents with an interest in earning a formal academic award is payingdividends for students, area employers, and the colleges. The number ofcommunity college system graduates has increased for each of the pastfive years.
