9. Trends in Undergraduate and Graduate Student Enrollment
Enrollment is lower than it was at its peak 6 years ago but is trending back up.
The number of undergraduates is growing, the number of graduate students is still contracting, something we are working hard to reverse
Development of new graduate programs (?)
Stronger recruitment for existing programs (?)
Program review process – (not sure what/whether to mention about this)
11/2/2016

10. New Students
The left panel shows trends in overall enrollment with a break out of new students – freshmen and transfers
The right panel shows the relative proportion of freshmen and transfers that comprise the overall new student count each year
Six years ago, freshmen made up 40% of the cohort of incoming students; today they comprise about 36%
Both charts show that transfer enrollment is outpacing first-time freshmen enrollment growth (in fact, FTF enrollment seems to have shrunk in 2016 but this may be an artifact of the preliminary data for 2016 and the way ftf and transfers are categorized before the data become final).

As discussed with Betsy, any presentation of students by race/ethnicity will use the IPEDS reporting categories because it is this federally reported data that qualifies the institution as an HIS – we want to be consistent across reports, even though much of the R/E data that Central reports reflects a different categorization.
