The University of North Carolina presents the thirty-ninth annual "Statistical Abstract of Higher Education in North Carolinaa." This abstract covers the breadth of higher education activities in the State in their quantitative aspect, from simple counts of enrollment and degrees conferred to complex analyses of the flow of student transfers among institutions. Both past and current (2006-07 academic year) information is included. The report is designed to provide legislators, educators, and other interested citizens of North Carolina with a statistical account of higher education in this State. Readers of the abstract can gain knowledge about who is being educated, where they are being educated, and the resources supporting their education. It is hoped that the information will aid in the more effective use of resources allocated to higher education. The data for the abstract were assembled by the Institutional Research and Analysis, Academic Affairs Division of the General Administration of the University of North Carolina from information supplied by the colleges and universities. Three appendices are included: (1) Sources of Data; (2) Definitions of Terms; and (3) North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics Enrollment by Race, Residency Status, Gender, and Class Level, 2006-07.
