Washington Community and Technical Colleges Fall Enrollment & Staffing Report, 1993.
Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges, Olympia. Enrollment Planning and Information Services Div.
A statistical overview is provided of trends in enrollments, student characteristics, and staffing in Washington's community and technical colleges as of fall 1993. The report first examines patterns of enrollments by funding source for full-time equivalent and headcount enrollment, the changing enrollment mix, students by purpose for attending, part- and full-time status, planned length of attendance, and the impact of tuition waivers. Next, the demographics of students served are detailed from fall 1989 through fall 1993 and data on student progress and success is presented for 1990-91 through 1992-93. Following an analysis of courses offered from fall 1989 through fall 1993, information on staff characteristics is provided from 1989 to 1993. Finally, data on enrollment, funding sources, and student characteristics are presented for 24 community colleges and college districts and 5 technical colleges for fall 1992 and fall 1993. Highlighted findings include the following: (1) the Washington community and technical colleges served 226,334 students in fall 1993; (2) the racial composition of the fall 1993 student population was more diverse than in the state as a whole, with 21% students of color in the system; (3) 52% of the students were enrolled part-time; (4) only 28% of the students in fall 1993 were new to college; and (5) 56% of all instruction was provided by full-time faculty in fall 1993.
