This report, seventh in a series, provides comparative data for the 27 major independent institutions of higher education in Florida, including data on enrollments and completions by degree level. Member institutions of the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida (ICUF) are grouped by types of degrees they offer. The report attempts to identify key data elements that may provide indicators of attributes such as racial/ethnic diversity, access to educational opportunities and specific majors, and institutional productivity. Some outstanding strengths of ICUF institutions emerged from the examination of the data provided by member schools. Eighty-five percent of all fall 2000 undergraduate classes at ICUF institutions had fewer than 30 students in a class, and 95% of classes had fewer than 40 students. ICUF institutions provide access to a wide array of fields of study and promote efficient progression to degree completion. The ratio of total undergraduate enrollment to total bachelor's degrees in 1999-2000 was approximately 5 to 1 for both ICUF member schools and institutions in the state system of higher education, suggesting similar levels of productivity in the two sectors. However, ICUF institutions awarded 38% more first-professional degrees than the entire state system. The report contains a foreword that highlights comparisons between Nova Southeastern University (NSU) and other ICUF members. NSU has the largest total enrollment and the fifth largest undergraduate enrollment of ICUF institutions. NSU awarded 42% of the master's degrees from ICUF institutions and 71% of the doctoral degrees. An appendix discusses the data collection for the 2000 ICUF report. (Contains 12 figures.) (SLD)
