Executive Summary

Introduction

This report presents detailed tabulations of student enrollment in postsecondary educationinstitutions in the 50 states and the District of Columbia for fall 1997. It focuses primarily ondegree granting institutions that are eligible for Title IV federal financial aid although summarydata are also presented for non-degree granting eligible institutions1. Data for this report aretaken from the Fall Enrollment survey, a component of the Integrated Postsecondary EducationData System (IPEDS) of the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for EducationStatistics (NCES).

This is the second year that NCES has used Title IV eligibility and degree-granting status tooperationally define a higher education institution. Prior to 1996 higher education institutionswere defined as postsecondary institutions that were accredited at the college level by an agencyrecognized by the Secretary, U.S. Department of Education (ED). This change from reporting onhigher education institutions as defined by accreditation status to reporting them defined by TitleIV eligibility and degree-granting status was necessary because the ED no longer distinguishesamong institutions based upon accreditation status. Thus, it is no longer possible for NCES toobtain updated lists of “higher education” institutions as defined in previous reports. In lieu ofthis designation, NCES has identified subsets of postsecondary institutions on the basis ofwhether or not they are eligible to participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs becauseTitle IV eligibility has implications for reporting and is of particular policy interest.2 Institutionsare further subdivided by whether or not they grant degrees, information that is available directlyfrom IPEDS data.3

1 In the remainder of the report institutions that are eligible for Title IV federal financial aid will be designated

simply as “eligible”.

2 Title IV eligibility is based on lists of eligible institutions maintained by ED's Office of Postsecondary Education(OPE).

3 In 1995, the Title IV eligible, degree-granting universe included approximately 5 percent more institutions thanwere included in the universe of institutions that were accredited at the college level. Most of the institutions thatwere added to the new reporting universe were private, for-profit institutions with relatively small studentenrollments. Therefore, it is estimated that the difference in the total enrollment of the Title IV eligible, degree-granting universe is approximately 0.1 percent larger that the former “accredited” universe. More information onhow this change in universe definition has affected fall enrollment counts may be found in: U.S. Department ofEducation, National Center for Education Statistics, Fall Enrollment in Postsecondary Institutions, 1996, NCES1999-239, by Samuel Barbett.

Characteristics of Enrolled Students

In the fall of 1997, 14.9 million students were enrolled in the 6,252 postsecondary institutionsthat were eligible to participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs. Of these, 97.3 percentwere enrolled in institutions that awarded at least an associate’s degree (table A). Over three-fourths of all students were enrolled in public institutions, of which, 98.5 percent attendeddegree-granting institutions and 1.5 percent were enrolled in non-degree granting institutions.

About 21 percent of students in eligible degree-granting institutions were enrolled in private,non-profit schools and about 2 percent were in private, for-profit schools. Of those studentsenrolled in non-degree-granting institutions, 48 percent were enrolled in private, for-profitinstitutions.

About 3 percent of students enrolled in eligible postsecondary institutions were nonresidentaliens (individuals who are in the United States on temporary visas). Of the citizens andpermanent residents enrolled in eligible postsecondary institutions, 72.8 percent were white, 11.3percent were black, non-Hispanic, 8.8 percent were Hispanic, 6.1 percent were Asian/PacificIslander and 1.0 percent were American Indian/Alaskan Native. As shown by the racial-ethnicdistribution of U.S. citizens and resident aliens in table B, minority4 students represented a higherproportion of the enrollment at non-degree-granting postsecondary institutions than at degree-granting institutions.

4 Non-resident aliens are not included as minority enrollment, but are categorized separately.

The distribution of students by racial-ethnic background varied considerably by level,participation status and type of institution. For example, blacks, Hispanics, and AmericanIndian/Alaskan Natives comprised a higher percentage of undergraduate enrollment thangraduate or first-professional enrollments. Further, a higher percentage of blacks, whites, andAmerican Indian/Alaskan Natives were enrolled as first-year, first-time students than at the totalundergraduate level (figure A). Asian/Pacific Islanders, on the other hand, comprised 11.0percent of all first-professional students, but only 6.0 percent of undergraduate and 4.7 percent ofgraduate students.

In 1997, a larger percent of all students in degree-granting institutions (55.9 percent) werewomen. Similarly, the majority of undergraduate (56.1 percent) and graduate (56.8 percent)students were women (table C). However, women made up only 43.1 percent of first-professional students. Within each of the racial-ethnic groups, women composed the majority ofundergraduates as well as first-time, first-year undergraduates. Similarly, at the postbaccalaureatelevel, women made up over half of the graduate students in each racial-ethnic category althoughAsian women were a bare majority comprising 50.7 percent of all Asian graduate students. It isalso notable that more than two-thirds of all black graduate students were women. However, thefirst-professional level, the picture is quite different for all racial-ethnic groups except blacks. While women accounted for just 41.4 percent of white first-professional students, 46.5 percent ofAsian students, 44.9 of Hispanic students, and 46.2 percent of American Indians, they accountedfor 56.9 percent of black first-professional students.

Most students (58.2 percent) were enrolled on a full-time basis (table D). Hispanic students,however, were more likely to enroll part-time than whites or other minorities. About half (49.6percent) of all Hispanic students attended school part-time. However, at the first-professionaland graduate levels, Hispanic students were more likely to enroll on a full-time basis than blackor white students. Asian or Pacific Islanders were more likely than all other students to attendfull time at both the undergraduate (61.0 percent) and graduate levels (51.0 percent).

Hispanics and American Indian/Alaskan Natives were a smaller percentage of 4-year collegeenrollment and a larger percentage of 2-year college enrollment than might be expected from theoverall distribution of enrolled students by race-ethnicity (tables 5 and 6)5. Additionally, blacksand Hispanics made up almost 30 percent of the total enrollment in for-profit, eligible, degree-granting institutions compared with about 15 percent of the enrollment in private, non-profitinstitutions and 20 percent of the enrollment in public institutions (table 4). Although non-degree-granting institutions enrolled only 2.7 percent of all students attending eligiblepostsecondary institutions, they enrolled a higher percentage of black (4.9 percent) and Hispanic(4.5 percent) students (table 1).

5 Numbered tables are found in the detailed tables.

Median age in table E shows that in addition to undergraduates being youngest overall, first-professional students are younger than graduate students. Indeed, in fall 1997, 64 percent ofundergraduates were under 25 with a median age of 21.8 years. This compares with 37.3 percentof first-professional students who were under 25 and whose median age was 26.2 years and 15.3percent of graduate students who were under 25 years of age and whose median age was 30.6years.

Among undergraduate students, full-time students were significantly younger than part-timestudents. About 82 percent of full-time undergraduates were under 25 compared with 38 percentof part-time undergraduates and, there was a differential in median age of almost 8 years betweenfull-time and part-time undergraduates. The median age of a full time undergraduate in 1997 was20.4 years while the median age of a part-time undergraduate was 28.0 years.

Women undergraduates, overall, were slightly older than men undergraduates by about half ayear, on average. The greatest difference in age between men and women undergraduates wasevidenced among part-time students, with women being approximately two years older than theirmale counterparts. Interestingly, women first-professional students were slightly younger(median age was 25.6 years), on average than their male counterparts (median age was 26.5years), while women graduate students were slightly older (median age was 30.9 years) than mengraduate students (median age was 30.2 years).

Data from fall 1997 enrollment tend to confirm the notion that 2-year institutions serve an olderpopulation than 4-year schools. The median age of 4-year undergraduates in 1997 was 21 years,while the median age of 2-year college students was 24 years.

Changes in Enrollment between 1996 and 1997

Between 1996 and 1997, enrollment in higher education institutions increased by 0.9 percent.This change is driven almost entirely by an increase in the number of full-time students. Whenbroken down by race and ethnicity, the increase is largely due to a change in minorityenrollments. There was no measurable change in the number of white students or the number ofpart-time students, and the number of non-resident aliens decreased by less than .3 percent. Thenumbers of both men and women increased but women had a higher percentage increase thanmen (a 1.1 percent increase vs. a .7 percent increase) (tables F and G).

This general pattern of change was somewhat different in each institutional sector. Enrollmentsincreased in 4-year public institutions by .5 percent although there were decreases in the numbersof whites, males, and part-time students and increases in the numbers of all other students. In 4-year private institutions enrollments of all types of students increased although the percentageincrease in 4-year private for-profit institutions was substantially higher than in private non-profitinstitutions. The overall increase in enrollment in 4-year private non-profit institutions was 1.3percent while the overall increase in 4-year private for-profit institutions was 18.7 percent.

Overall, there was also an increase in the numbers of students attending 2-year institutions duetotally to increases at public 2-year institutions. In private non-profit and private for-profit 2-yearinstitutions, total enrollment declined between 1996 and 1997. The number of white studentsand non-resident aliens declined overall, while the numbers of all other students increased. Inprivate non-profit institutions, smaller numbers of white, black, Hispanic, American Indians, andnon-resident aliens resulted in an overall 4.8 percent decrease in the number of students enrolled.In private for-profit institutions, decreases in the numbers of whites, Asian or Pacific Islandersand American Indians/Alaskan Natives were largely offset by increases in the numbers of blacksand Hispanics, and a 50 percent increase in non-resident aliens enrollment.

The increase in enrollment between 1996 and 1997 occurred at undergraduate and graduatestudent levels although at different rates. Undergraduate enrollment increased by 1.0 percent(table 21), graduate enrollment increased by .6 percent (table 23), while enrollment in first-professional schools did not change (table 22). Among undergraduates, there were increasednumbers of men and women, full- and part-time students, and U.S. citizens and resident aliens(all races) although there were substantial differences in the rates of increases. Only the numberof non-resident aliens decreased.

The overall static level of enrollment in first-professional schools does not reflect the detailedchanges (table 22). The number of whites, blacks, and Hispanics decreased while the number ofAsian/Pacific Islanders and American Indian/Alaskan Natives increased. The number of womenenrolled at the first-professional level increased by 2.4 percent while the number of mendecreased by 1.8 percent. Additionally, while first-professional enrollments in public institutionswent up, they went down in both private non-profit and private for-profit institutions.

At the graduate level (table 23), minorities, non-resident aliens and women increased their shareof graduate enrollment between 1996 and 1997. Even so, minorities comprised only 17 percentof the graduate student enrollment compared to their 27 percent share of undergraduateenrollment.

Enrollments by State

The distribution of minority enrollment by state largely reflects the distribution of minorityresidents within each state. To illustrate, in 1997, states differed greatly in the distribution ofminority and white students. For example, in California less than half of the students enrolled inits colleges and universities were white, while blacks, who represent 10.7 percent of enrollmentsnationally, composed only 7.8 percent of California’s enrollment (table 25). By comparison,Hispanics made up 20.7 percent of California’s enrollment, and Asian or Pacific Islanders 17.8percent. Conversely, in Alabama, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland,Mississippi, and South Carolina, blacks’ share of enrollment ranged from 22.6 to 31.0 percent,which was more than double their national enrollment share. In New Mexico and Texas,Hispanics composed 33.6 and 21.7 percent of total enrollment, respectively, compared with their8.4 percent share of enrollment in the nation as a whole. In Hawaii, Asian/Pacific Islanderscomposed 60.7 percent of total enrollment, while in Alaska, Arizona, Montana, New Mexico,North Dakota, Oklahoma, and South Dakota, American Indians/Alaskan Natives had asignificant share of total enrollment (4.0 percent to 11.2 percent) compared with 1.0 percentnationally.

While there was very little change in enrollment between 1996 and 1997 (.9 percent increase),sixteen states and the District of Columbia experienced decreases in enrollment (figure B). Nebraska had the largest percentage decrease (7.6 percent), while Minnesota and North Dakotaexperienced declines in enrollment of over 5 percent. Washington state posted the largestpercentage increase in enrollment (3.9 percent) followed by Utah (3.7 percent), Mississippi (3.6percent), Arkansas (3.4 percent), Nevada (3.3 percent), Missouri (3.2 percent) and California (3.1percent).

Six of the states that had a decline in total enrollment between 1996 and 1997 also had a decreasein the number of minority students enrolled in institutions in their states (figure C), and one statewith an overall increase had a decrease in minority enrollment (Iowa). In most states, however,the percentage increase in minority enrollment was much greater than the percentage increase intotal enrollment. For example, Arkansas had a 3.4 percent increase in total enrollment and 9.4percent increase in minority enrollment.

Technical Notes

Data Sources

The enrollment statistics in this report are derived from information reported by postsecondaryinstitutions through the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) "FallEnrollment" surveys 1996 and 1997. The major emphasis of this report is based on the subset ofpostsecondary institutions referred to as degree-granting institutions that are eligible for Title IVfederal financial aid. Title IV eligible institutions that do not award degrees are referred to as "non-degree-granting institutions." This report includes only those institutions in the 50 states and theDistrict of Columbia.

Survey Methodology

Overview

The Fall Enrollment (EF) survey is conducted annually as part of the National Center for EducationStatistics' Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).1 The EF survey collects dataon the number of students enrolled in postsecondary institutions2 that were eligible to participate inTitle IV federal financial aid programs in the United States and its outlying areas3. Eligibility statusof institutions was obtained from the Office of Postsecondary Education’s March 1997Postsecondary Education Participants System (PEPS) file.

Students included in the Fall Enrollment survey:

x students enrolled in courses creditable toward a degree or other formal award;

x students enrolled in courses that are part of a vocational or occupational program,including those enrolled in off-campus centers; and

x high school students taking regular college courses for credit.

Students excluded from the Fall Enrollment survey:

x students enrolled exclusively in courses not creditable toward a formal award and whoare not in a postsecondary vocational program;

1 Other IPEDS surveys include Institutional Characteristics, Completions, Finance, Faculty Salaries, Graduation

Rates, Fall Staff, Academic Libraries, and the Consolidated survey. NCES conducts IPEDS surveys in order tofulfill its legislative mission "to collect, and analyze, and disseminate statistics and other data related to education inthe United States" (P.L. 103-382, National Education Statistics Act of 1994, Sec. 404(a)).

2 Postsecondary education is defined as the provision of a formal instructional program whose curriculum is designedprimarily for students who are beyond the compulsory age for high school. This includes programs whose purpose isacademic, vocational, and continuing professional education, and excludes avocational (leisure) and adult basiceducation programs.

3 The outlying areas include the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, the Marshall Islands, Northern Marianas,Palau, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

14

x students enrolled exclusively in remedial courses;

x students exclusively auditing classes;

x students studying abroad (e.g., at a foreign university) if their enrollment at the institution is only an administrative record and the fee is only nominal;

x students in any branch campus located in a foreign country; and

x students earning continuing education units (CEU's) only.

There are two versions of the Fall Enrollment survey. The most extensive form, "EF1", was sent toall 4-year institutions. The "EF2" form is less detailed and was sent to 2-year postsecondaryinstitutions that grant an associate's degree (degree-granting). Additional enrollment data wascollected on the "Consolidated" survey (CN), which was sent to 2-year institutions that grantawards or certificates of at least 2 but less than 4 academic years (non-degree-granting) and less-than-2-year institutions that offer awards or certificates of less than 2 years duration4. Theenrollment data collected via the Consolidated survey are integrated into the Fall Enrollmentdatabase. The data requested on each form or survey varies as follows:

Form Type Level of Institution Data Requested:

EF1 4-year institutions Attendance Status (full- or part-time)Student Level (undergraduate, first-

professional, graduate)Race-ethnicity and sex of studentDegree-seeking statusMajor field of study (even numbered years only)Year of studyAge of student (odd numbered years only)Residence of first-time students (even numberedyears only)

EF2 2-year degree-granting Attendance Status (full- or part-time)Race-ethnicity and sex of studentDegree-seeking statusYear of studyAge of student (odd numbered years only)Residence of first-time students (even numberedyears only)

4 The Consolidated survey is designed to collect information from Title IV eligible, non-degree-granting institutionson fall enrollment, finance, fall staff, and completions.

Universe, Institutions Surveyed and Response Rates

A major subset of all postsecondary institutions, are those institutions that are eligible to participatein Title IV federal financial aid programs. It is this group of institutions that annually receive a fallenrollment survey. Beginning with the 1996 IPEDS, the subset of eligible institutions wasvalidated by matching the IPEDS universe with the PEPS file, which is maintained by the Office ofPostsecondary Education (OPE). OPE grants eligibility to institutions to participate in Title IVfederal financial programs. This validation process was repeated for the 1997 IPEDS fordetermining eligibility, and 6,810 eligible institutions were mailed Fall Enrollment or ConsolidatedSurvey forms.

Survey forms were mailed in July 1997: (1) EF1 forms were mailed to 2,365 institutions; (2) EF2forms to 1,772 institutions; and (3) CN surveys to 2,673 institutions. The survey results werecollected from November 1997 through June 1998. During this time period a total of 175institutions were deleted from the universe. These deletions resulted from formal notification byIPEDS state coordinators, the Department of Education eligibility notices, and from follow-uptelephone calls. Included in the deletions were: (1) duplicates of other institutions on the file; (2)institutions that closed or had merged with another institution, and thus were no longer a legitimateinstitution or branch; (3) institutions that no longer offered postsecondary programs; or (4) schoolsthat did not conform to the IPEDS definition of an institution or branch. At the conclusion of thisprocess, 6,635 institutions represented the final 1997 fall enrollment universe. The final universewas also adjusted to reflect institutions that changed from one sector to another subsequent tosurvey mailout.

Table H shows the number of institutions that were mailed the 1997 Fall Enrollment survey (orthe Consolidated form) by level and control of institution; the final in-scope universe ofinstitutions receiving either survey form; the number of in-scope institutions that responded; andthe response rates.

The sector of aninstitution at the time of mailout may differ from its sector in the final universe because a school's sector may change due to a shift in the highestlevel of offering or due to improper classification by sector the prior year. Because of this sector change some 4-year institutions may return anEF2 form and some 2-year institutions may return an EF1 form. Response rates were calculated as the ratio of the number of completed surveyforms divided by the number of schools in the final universe.

On the 1997 IPEDS files, institutions are identified as (1) degree-granting - those that offer either anassociate's, bachelor's, master's, doctor’s, or first-professional degree; and (2) non-degree-granting(certificate only) - those institutions that offer only certificates at any level. Institutions offering onlypostbaccalaureate, post-master's, or first-professional certificates and institutions offering certificatesof less-than-4-years are included in this group.

Table I provides the number of institutions and survey response rates by eligibility status anddegree-granting status by control and level of institution. The institution's eligibility status wasupdated in March of 1998 and 246 institutions that were sent a fall enrollment or consolidatedsurvey lost eligibility status. There are 6,389 eligible institutions on the file; of these, 4,074 aredegree-granting.

Survey Conduct and Editing

The 1997 Fall Enrollment survey was due November 15. Survey data were collected via paperor transmitted to NCES via the Internet. Some institutions did submit data on diskette. Data fornonresponding CN institutions were collected through the Postsecondary Education TelephoneSystem (PETS). All data, whether received on paper forms, diskettes, electronically via theInternet, or through the PETS system, went through the same editing process. Extensive follow-up for survey nonresponse was conducted from November 1997 through April 1998. Initially,reminder letters were mailed, encouraging nonresponding institutions to complete and returntheir forms; and subsequently, the PETS was used to collect critical data by telephone from aninstitutional representative.

Survey responses were edited for internal and inter-year consistency. The following editingprocedures were used:

Part A: Enrollment by sex and race-ethnicity

(1) Addition checks were performed by adding down the columns and comparing generatedtotals with reported totals. If the reported total differed from the generated total but waswithin a designated range, the reported total was replaced by the generated total and thecell was flagged with the proper impute code. If the difference exceeded the designatedrange, institutions were contacted for verification/correction. Addition checks were alsoperformed by generating totals for men and women by adding across columns (racial-ethnic group) in each line. Generated totals by sex were compared to the reported totals.If they differed but were within a designated range a balance field was created containingthe difference by sex and placed on the data file. Reported detail and totals were notaltered. If the difference exceeded the designated range, institutions were contacted forcorrection. Editing of the racial-ethnic data is explained in detail in the section on rakingof racial-ethnic data.

(2) Comparisons were also made with the number of students reported for selected items forthe prior year. If the differences were sufficiently large to trigger an edit flag, institutionswere contacted for verification.

Part B: Enrollment by Age

(1) Part B data were edited in a similar manner. Addition checks were performed bycomparing reported totals in Part B to corresponding totals in Part A. Differencesbetween the totals were calculated and balances containing the differences weregenerated. If the balance was outside a certain range the institution was contacted forverification/correction. If the balance was within a certain range, the Part B total wasreplaced by the corresponding total from Part A. The balance was then allocated amongthe age categories using the institution’s reported age distribution.

19

Data Management and Imputation

Data for Part A, enrollment by race-ethnicity, were imputed for nonresponding institutions. Thefollowing imputation procedures were used:

For institutions with reported data on the prior year enrollment file: all institutionsthat reported data in both 1996 and 1997 were grouped by level of offering andcontrol of institution. Enrollment data were then aggregated for each group andpercent changes were calculated. For each nonresponding institution in 1997,their 1996 enrollment data were adjusted by the percent change of the group towhich that institution belonged.

For institutions with no prior year report, imputations were based on current yeargroup means or ratios derived for similar institutions with reported data in 1997.Groups were formed by combining institutions by level of offering and control ofinstitution.

Raking of Racial-Ethnic Data

When data were reported by racial-ethnic categories on a detail line and the generated sum ofthese enrollments did not equal the reported total enrollment, the difference between thegenerated total and the reported total was calculated. If the difference exceeded a certaindesignated range the institution was contacted for correction. If the difference was within thedesignated range, a "balance column" was created. The balance was then distributed in the sameproportions as the reported racial-ethnic data for that detail line. If there were no racial-ethnicdata reported for any detail lines, but racial-ethnic data were reported for the subtotal lines(8=undergraduate full-time, 14=postbaccalaureate full-time, 22=undergraduate part-time and28=postbaccalaureate part-time), the total from columns 15 and 16 (male, female ) of each detailline were distributed in the same proportions as the racial-ethnic enrollments reported on thecorresponding subtotal line. If the institution did not report racial-ethnic data on the subtotallines, but reported racial-ethnic data on the grand total line (29), then line 29 was used todistribute the data on the detail lines. If the institution only reported data in columns 15 and 16on all lines, data were distributed among racial-ethnic categories based on the distribution oftotals of the imputation group in which the institution was a member. Groups were formed byaggregating lines 8, 14, 22, and 28 by survey form, control, and state by sex.

Beginning in 1990, a "race-ethnicity unknown category" was incorporated into the FallEnrollment survey. To allow for analysis of enrollment trends by race-ethnicity, enrollmentreported in the race-ethnicity unknown category was raked across those columns that representU.S. citizens, that is, columns 3 through 12; race unknown was not distributed to nonresidentaliens. The procedure used to distribute the race unknown category among the race-ethniccategories was the same procedure used for distributing the balance columns. Note that rakingmay be done on data that are imputed as well as the reported data. Table J contains theenrollment numbers by "race-ethnicity unknown" and balance categories.

Balance columns were generated when the calculated total enrollment by race-ethnicity did match the reported total. The balance is the difference between reported and calculated totals. The enrollments in the balance column arise from128 institutions whose calculated enrollments by race-ethnicity were not equal to the reported totals. Two of these institutions reported no race-ethnicity dataand did not report data in the race-ethnicity unknown category. Enrollments imputed from allocating the balance columns is below 0.05 percent. Enrollmentin the "race-ethnicity unknown" category was reported by 2,673 institutions. Sixty-nine of these institutions reported data only in the race-ethnicity unknowncategory.SOURCE: U.S Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System,"Fall Enrollment" survey 1997.
