This collection of 33 tables provides data on various aspects of higher education in Maryland. The first table provides comparative statistics for Maryland and the country at large in the areas of educational achievement, composite SAT scores (1997), enrollment, campus mix in enrollment, degrees conferred, average resident undergraduate tuition and fees, four-year change in state funding for higher education, and average salaries of full-time faculty. Most of the tables detailing Maryland data are based on the academic year 1995-96, although some figures are for fall 1997 or fiscal year 1997. Tables are grouped as follows: (1) students, (2) retention and graduation, (3) degrees, (4) faculty, (5) revenues and expenditures, (6) tuition and fees, (7) financial aid, and (8) private career schools. Examples of included tables are: students in core and non-core curricula needing remediation in college, undergraduate enrollment, graduate and professional enrollment, enrollment by race and gender, retention and graduation by race at Maryland public four-year institutions, community college success rates, degrees by institution and major program, full- and part-time faculty, revenues and expenditures of community colleges and public four-year colleges, undergraduate tuition and fees, Maryland financial aid program expenditures, and enrollment at private career schools.
