In fall 2011, community and technical colleges devoted the largest portion of their contract course effort (as measured by FTES) to academic courses –
63 percent, with 20 percent to workforce courses,
9 percent to basic skills, and 8 percent to precollege courses. Contract-funded FTES decreased in every course type except pre-college, which increased 8.2 percent. The largest decrease was in basic skills, nearly 27 percent less than fall 2010.
High school dual enrollment programs, corrections, and a portion of international student programs are the three largest programs in contract-funded. They are described on pages 42-45.
