Selected Characteristics, Classified & Unclassified (Regular) Students, Community Colleges, Fall 1976.
Hawaii Univ., Honolulu. Community Coll. System.
Enrollment increases in the seven colleges in the Hawaii community college system appear to have stabilized. Although enrollment increased by 1% in fall 1976 over fall 1975, some colleges reported decreases. Of the total fall 1976 enrollment of 27,829, 75% were regular students, compared to 66% the previous year. For the fourth consecutive year, students were taking fewer semester hours (from 11.0 in fall 1975 to 10.8 in fall 1976). For the same four-year period there has been a proportional decrease in full-time students and an increase in part-time students. Males continued to outnumber females (55% to 45%). Mean age dropped from 25.0 years in fall 1975 to 24.7 years in fall 1976, but the modal group was the 18-19 age category. The proportion of continuing students increased at all but one campus; proportionately fewer (32%) new students enrolled, and the proportion of transfer students remained the same (12%). Distributions of students in liberal arts (48%) and vocational (44%) programs were similar to those reported in fall 1975. (JDS)
