  1. CEMR 2010 Enrollment Plan Report Prepared for the Undergraduate Academic Affairs Committee and Graduate Program and Research Committee

  2. Agenda • Enrollment background • 2010 WVU Goals and CEMR Plans • Progress toward goals • Threats to meeting our goals

  3. Undergraduate Enrollment - UgE Retention effect on discipline major enrollment (DME)

  4. Graduate enrollment - GdE Significant loss in MS enrollment

  5. Total enrollment picture Total enrollment is stable even with MS enrollment declines but needs to grow

  6. The challenge! • The University goal for CEMR is a 12.3% increase in F05 enrollment and instructional FTE by Fall of 2010 • Fall 2005 enrollment & instructional FTE levels were • 2749 students: 2012 undergraduate & 737 graduate students • 1895 instructional FTE * # of undergraduate sch/15 or # of grad sch/12 • By Fall 2010 CEMR must • Increase enrollment by 354 students from Fall 05 enrollment of 2749 • Increase instructional FTE by 240 from Fall 05 instructional FTE of 1859

  7. The CEMR plan • Enrollment growth must occur in both the undergraduate and graduate programs. • Undergraduate efforts will focus on improving • the quality and quantity of freshman class majors, • Engineering, General engineering, Pre-Biom & Pre-CS • freshman to sophomore retention, • sophomore to junior retention and • increasing our first time transfers through articulation agreements. • Graduate efforts will focus on increasing • graduate enrollment and • the enrollment ratio of Ph.D. to Master’s degree.

  27. CEMR Enrollment Plan

  28. Progress toward 06 goals • Engineering major enrollment • Increase from 274 to 280 – actual was 313 •  # of students with SAT/ACT math scores 720/32 • Surpass 05 levels of 32 students – actual was 28 •  # of students with SAT/ACT math scores between 650-720 or 29-32 • Surpass 05 levels of 80 students – actual was 91

  29. Progress toward 06 goals • Reduce General Engineering students with ACT/SAT math scores ≤ 500 • Have fewer than the 67 students in 2005 – actual number in 2006/07 was only 55 students • 05/06 Fr-Soph retention • Keep Engineering major at or above 73% - actual was 74% • Increase General Engineering major from 55% to 57% - actual was 61%

  30. Progress toward 06 goals • Graduate enrollment • Keep MS enrollment around 530 to 540 – actual was 468 • Increase PhD enrollment from 184 to 200 – actual was 182 • Increase Total graduate enrollment from 739 to 746 – actual was 683

  31. The results- enrollment Met our goals except for graduate enrollment

  32. Other positive news • In 2005 WVU’s undergraduate enrollment level broke the ASEE national top 50 largest BS programs at #48 • CEMR undergraduate enrollment growth is exceeding our peers.

  33. Threats to meeting our goals • Nationally B.S. enrollment growth turned negative in 2004. The projections are for several more years of negative enrollment growth. • Even though we offer a tremendous product to potential students it is likely that we will not be able to buck that national B.S. enrollment trend for long if it continues.

  34. ASEE undergraduate data

  35. Threat to meeting our goals • Nationally engineering MS enrollment growth rate has been negative for the last 3 yrs • recruiting into a negative growth trend is tough

  36. ASEE Masters data

  37. Threats to meeting our goals • By 2010 all the states from which we recruit the best will be facing declining HS school populations

  38. Thank you • QUESTIONS/COMMENTS

  39. ASEE Doctoral Data
