Contract FTES by Academic, Workforce, Basic Skills and Pre-College
Fall 2009 through Fall 2013
In fall 2013, community and technical colleges devoted the largest portion of their contract course effort (as measured by FTES) to academic courses –
66 percent – with 19 percent to workforce courses, seven percent to basic skills, and eight percent to precollege courses. Contract-funded FTES increased in pre-college and academic courses and decreased in workforce and basic skills.
High school dual enrollment programs, corrections, and a portion of international student programs are the three largest programs in the contract-funded course enrollment. They are described on pages 42-45.
