An overview of changes related to instructional programs that have occurred at Missouri's public four-year institutions between fiscal year (FY) 1983 and FY 1987 is provided. This updates a similar report published in 1983 for the years 1972-1982. It is part of an effort to employ an analysis of enrollment patterns, program mix, and institutional resource utilization to determine the effects of these factors at the state and institutional levels on the achievement of the higher education public policy goals of financial access, institutional quality in terms of mission, and funding efficiency. The subjects are: enrollment trends, FY 1983-FY 1987 (background, full-time equivalency enrollment, student level, part-time/full-time status, market share distribution, and summary observations); degrees conferred, FY 1983-FY 1987 (degree levels, discipline differences, discipline differences by sector, and summary observations); minority participation, FY 1983-FY 1987 (student level, student status, sector differences, degrees conferred, gender differences, and summary observations); and productivity trends, FY 1984-FY 1987 (instructional research staff, instructional expenditures, credit hours produced, credit hours produced per instructional staff, expenditures per credit hours produced, and summary observations).
