Every 2 years the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) works with the 15 public four-year institutions and Richard Bland College to produce a comprehensive set of enrollment projections to advise legislators and policy makers about expected enrollments for the next 6 years. This report is the result of that study for 2003.…

Eighth grade students in eighteen Pennsylvania School Systems were surveyed to determine the relation between student interests and student enrollment in agriculture courses.

Summaries of two recent publications by the National Center for Education Statistics show a continued decline in enrollment. A gradual enrollment increase is expected to begin in 1984. Increases are also projected for school expenditures and teacher demand. (MLF)

A structural model for projecting public school enrollment by grade, program, and district is outlined. Main points of consideration are illustrated by an application to the problem of forecasting enrollment in Florida. (Author/GK)

The application of multiple linear regression to the identification of appropriate criterion variables and the prediction of enrollment in college courses during a period of major rapid decline (1972-1978) are discussed. An example is presented. (Author/JKS)

This component of the project attempts to facilitate planning by furnishing models that manage cumbersome and complex data, supply an objectivity that identifies all relationships between elements of the model, and provide a quantitative model allowing for various forecasting techniques that describe the long-range impact of decisions.
