Enrollment Trends

There are policy changes at three campuses. The enrollment for Campbell University is approximately half what it has been prior to Fall 1991 because in prior years credit extension enrollment was included in their reports on resident-credit enrollment. Mount Olive College and Montreat College now include an off-campus site in their resident-credit enrollment, per instructions from their accrediting agency, because of the proximity of the off-campus site to the main campus.

Barber-Scotia College did not provide resident-credit enrollment for fall 1991. Where data are missing, there will be dashes (-).

Degrees Conferred

In 1983-84 the National Center for Education Statistics and the Office for Civil Rights - both within The Department of Education - adopted a new Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) for reporting degrees conferred by colleges and universities in the United States. This classification system includes 40 major categories of degree programs, 36 of which apply to the bachelor's, master's, doctorate, and first professional degrees offered by North Carolina senior colleges and universities. This classification system was updated in 1992.

An earlier classification system - the one used to report degrees conferred in Abstract tables since the 1970-71 academic year - has been retained by the University of North Carolina for all purposes other than meeting official federal reporting obligations. For this reason, and for the purpose of maintaining comparability with Abstract data reported on degrees conferred in past years, the table formats for reporting degrees conferred in this section continue to use the former discipline categories. The crosswalk between the current CIP and these categories is presented in Appendix C. Readers may obtain more detailed data by academic degree program level in CIP categories on the web site referenced on the cover of this publication.
