This fifth annual Performance Report for Ohio's Colleges and Universities uses a variety of data and data sources to describe higher education in Ohio from students' academic preparation to learning environments, student progress, degree achievement, and licensure and employment outcomes. The report also provides a wealth of information about research and job-training activities as well as basic financial information about costs, state support, and financial aid provided to students. This year's Performance Report includes new outcomes measures related to college-level course taking by high school students, transfer outcomes, and need-based and merit-based financial aid awards. The sections comprise the Performance Report for 2005 as follows: Section One summarizes outcomes at the statewide and sector levels and includes comparisons to national benchmarks when such benchmarks are available; Section Two presents the mission statements of the community and technical college sectors and individual mission statements for each public university; and Section Three presents brief statistical profiles of Ohio's public and private higher education institutions. Data analysts, members of the media, local policy makers, and legislative staff will find the data in the institutional detail report valuable to learn more about specific campuses and how a specific campus's data compare to sector or state data.
