Extensive data tables on higher education in Missouri present information on: the academic preparation of college freshmen (fall 1995), including distribution of American College Testing (ACT) scores and high school rankings; tuition, fees, and financial aid (state and federal, by aid type, including merit-based scholarships) and trends; enrollment (headcount and full-time equivalent freshman, total undergraduate, graduate, and by age, gender, ethnicity, and geographic origin) and trends; institutional resources (faculty and staff, full-time, 9-month, and tenure-track; revenues and expenditures by source; and library collections and expenditures); degrees conferred, by level, discipline, gender, and ethnicity; and institutional origins of undergraduate transfer students, both degree-seeking and non-degree. Within each of these categories, data are offered separately for public and private sectors. Appended materials include a list of Missouri higher education institutions, a state map showing institutions' locations, and a list of degree categories for use with degree tables. (MSE)
