This report is concerned with the development of a model for projecting the enrollments of The Pennsylvania State University by simulating the flow of students through the campuses and colleges of which the institution is composed. Because it concerns a twenty-two campus system of a single university, it not only constitutes an institutional…

In this report four models are formulated which forecast the enrollment and financial needs of students in higher education. The four models are: the undergraduate enrollment model, postbaccalaureate enrollment model, undergraduate student aid model, and postbaccalaureate student aid model. In addition to computing total financial needs, these…

This report is the second part of a two-phased study designed to provide data for forecasting the size and characteristics of freshman classes at colleges and universities in Idaho. The initial phase of the study focused on the post-graduation plans of high school seniors who participated in a statewide survey conducted in May 1971. The present…

This is a statistical study of the growth of graduate enrollments and degree production in the United States during the post-Sputnik era. The purpose of the study is to provide better knowledge of the flow of college graduates through the graduate schools and to assess the effects of such factors as the draft, the G.I. Bills, and federal support…

This survey concerned first-year graduate enrollments in science and engineering for the fall of 1971 and expected enrollments for the fall of 1972. Each institution was asked to indicate (1) how many new applications it had received through July 5, 1971, and what the actual first-year graduate enrollment for that year had been; and (2) estimate…

The manner in which students move through the system of higher education--changing majors, leaving the system for undetermined periods and then returning, failing and repeating courses, continuing on for advanced and professional degrees--can have a significant effect on the planning and managing of institutions. The purpose of this paper is to…

A review of the literature concerning local school roll forecasting describes the theoretical model common to most local education agency (LEA) forecasts, identifies a variety of issues relevant to this area of LEA planning, and suggests some opportunities for improvement in LEA school roll forecasting.

A model is presented that combines a polynomial lag econometric model with a goal programming model to satisfy the known conditions while making efficient use of limited data. The model is applied to data for a large public university. (Author/MLW)

College enrollment will be relatively stable over the next four years according to new projections by the U.S. Department of Education. (MLW)

The impact of several environmental and institutional factors on college and university enrollments between 1975-76 and 1980-81 is examined. Separate enrollment analyses of public and private two-year and four-year institutions, and of the major doctoral, comprehensive, and baccalaureate institutions of four-year schools were made.

Includes articles from the eight Australian states discussing trends in student enrollment in secondary science courses. (SL)

The trauma of closing a school can be eased by involving the community and school personnel in planning for the closure and allowing as long a time frame as possible. (MLF)

This report was produced in response to a mandate of the Texas legislature requiring the development of a long-range plan for higher education by region. A wide variety of factors related to higher education were reviewed for the report. General demographic observations show that the state's population is expected to increase significantly in five…

This study investigated how many academic staff members will have to be recruited over the next 10 years to fill the needs of higher education institutions funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). Estimates were made of overall leaving rates and whether there would be a significant increase in rates because of staff…
