| Summary: | Fall 1979 enrollment figures are presented for 956 two-year institutions, including 730 public colleges, 74 church-affiliated colleges, 91 independent private schools, and 61 proprietary schools. Tables furnish data on the number of full-time male and female students and total headcount enrollments, as well as the number of full-time staff and the total number of staff members. Data summaries reveal, among other findings, that the 1979 total enrollment for the colleges (3,321,764) represented a 3.9% increase from Fall 1978. Enrollments increased by 3.7% in public colleges, 3.2% in church-affiliated colleges, 7.5% in independent colleges, and 6.2% in proprietary schools. Grouped by programmatic indices, the data revealed that technical/vocational schools experienced the largest enrollment gains (8%), followed by junior colleges (5.8%), community colleges (3.4%), university branch colleges (2.3%), and multipurpose institutions (1.2%). The enrollment of first-time entering freshmen increased 4.5% from Fall 1978, and the enrollment of women increased 4.7%, as compared to a 1.0% increase in the enrollment of men. Full-time equivalent enrollment increased 4.1%, and overall headcount gains ranged from 15.2% in New England to 1.8% in the East North Central states. (JP) |
