Pennsylvania Higher Education Enrollment Planning Projections. Phase II Report.
Pennsylvania State Dept. of Education, Harrisburg. Bureau of Planning and Evaluation.
The Pennsylvania Department of Education has developed enrollment projections to 1995 based on the number of births occurring 20 years earlier. The statewide totals are then used as a starting point for projections for each segment of the higher education community: state owned institutions, community colleges, state related institutions, independent institutions, and proprietary institutions. The trends identified and the goals projected were (1) bringing racial and ethnic minority enrollments to parity with majority enrollments, and (2) increasing the female enrollments to the level of male enrollments. Another significant trend is considered in the increase in graduate and first professional enrollments. The trend projections also consider the impact of lowered tuition and fees on the base projection. The available data on adult continuing education is also projected. (JMF)
