The broader enrollment landscape

Higher education’s compounded annual growth rates are slowing 5.6% 1.2% % Source: U.S. Department of Education. Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Statistics Digest Ed Statistics: Table Note: Between 1981 and 1999 the compounded growth rate was only 1%

Texas The competition factor 307,504 high school seniors / * 281 institutions of higher education** 56.2% college continuation rate (172,817)*** (ranks 42 nd among states) 11.7% leave the state to go to college (20,294)**** (ranks 38 th among states) 278 institutions competing for 130,143 students annually † In-state institutions receiving the largest number of in-state freshmen. †† Competition factor equals college continuation rate less number of students migrating and the three in-state institutions receiving the largest number of in-state freshmen.

Future entering classes will potentially be:  More ethnically diverse  Financially needier  Heavier in first or second generation college students  In addition, the cohort entering in 2017 will experience major changes in the SAT, the FAFSA, and major changes in state curriculum and testing standards.

What do students and parents want?

The career factor  Reported major choices by SAT takers indicate that students (and parents) view higher education through the eyes of potential careers.  Five areas (biology, business, engineering, health professions, and psychology) account for the reported majors of 61% of test submitters to Austin College.  Those same five areas comprise 54% of all SAT test takers in our region. Please refer to your handout.  How in the heck are we supposed to turn out good citizens if all these kids want to be doctors, investment bankers, or engineers?

How do we reach more students effectively?

Where does this fit? How do we reach these kids?

How do we represent ourselves?

Examples of recruitment strategies  Austin College Music Department – targeted approach to generate applications.  Dr. Mark Hebert – one man on a mission to convert applicants and admits.  Foreign Language – experiential learning and a unique opportunity at AC. What part of the funnel are we recruiting in these examples?

How do we talk about careers in a liberal arts context?  Gallup Purdue Index

We aren’t a career factory. We are a success factory.

In comparison to 2006 freshmen, 2016 freshmen are more likely to…  Question the point of college  Feel more pressure  Not read for pleasure  Believe they have good study habits  Feel as though they have strong family support  Have identified a potential career path that affects their education plans  Expect more academic services like tutoring  Be more willing to work and less willing to pursue loans  Not get along well with others expressing different options  Sources: 2016 National Freshman Motivation to Complete College Report (RuffaloNoel Levitz) and 2006 National Freshman Motivation to Complete College Report (RuffaloNoel Levitz)
