Data on aspects of Alabama's private and public higher education are presented, including current enrollment, first-time entering students, revenues and expenditures, tuition and required fees, average faculty salaries, degrees conferred, and libraries. Enrollment data are tabulated by general characteristics, fall enrollment trends since 1978, institution type (public, private, four-year, two-year, technical college, first professional health sciences, veterinary medicine), full- and part-time students, gender, racial composition, selected disciplines, and full-time-equivalencies. Many tables give data for each institution. Information on first-time students includes in-state and out-of-state enrollment of degree-seeking students in public four-year institutions. Revenue and expenditure data show trends since 1978-79 for public four-year, two-year, and technical institutions. Graphs and charts show information on in-state and out-of-state tuition and fees since 1985-86 for all public four-year, two-year, and technical institutions by degree level. Average faculty salaries are computed by gender and rank for four-year institutions and by gender in two-year and technical colleges. Degrees conferred at each level are charted and tabulated for recent years by field of study, gender, and sector. For libraries, personnel statistics, revenues and expenditures, library resources, and services and facilities are detailed by institution. (MSE)
