
The Fall 2012 student enrollment was 15,711 students out of which 14,092 were degree and certificate
seeking students. Sixty-six percent of the degree and certificate seeking students were enrolled fulltime. The curricula with the highest enrollments were Liberal Arts and Sciences (A.A.), Business
Administration (A.S.), Criminal Justice (A.S.), Health Sciences (A.S.), and Liberal Arts and Sciences
(Mathematics & Science) (A.S.).

A total of 1,619 students were non-degree. The majority of this group were high school students who
were part of the College Now program, which enrolls high school students in college courses.

Queensborough is a very diverse campus with students from 139 countries. The majority live in
Queens. Thirty-eight percent report speaking a language other than English at home.

Queensborough is an open-admissions campus; over seventy percent of the incoming freshmen
require at least one remedial course. In the academic year 2011-12, 69 percent of all first-time fulltime freshmen and 49 percent of all degree students received Pell grants.

The six-year graduation rate for the Fall ’06 cohort is 25.3% from Queensborough with an additional
8.7 % that graduated elsewhere in CUNY or outside CUNY. This brings the overall six year
graduation rate to 34%. QCC students usually go on to another CUNY senior college such as Queens
College and Baruch College, but also enroll in non-CUNY colleges e.g. SUNY Stony Brook, SUNY
Binghamton, Adelphi, Cornell, NYU, and St. John’s.

QCC graduated 1,751 students in the academic year 2011-12. The curricula with the most degrees

Queensborough Community College, 2012-2013
A. QCC Enrollment
Queensborough Community College has seen significant enrollment growth, especially since the
economic downturn of 2008. After an enrollment peak in fall 2011, fall 2012 had the second largest fall
enrollment in the history of the college. A total of 15,711 undergraduate students were enrolled in 30
associate degree programs, eight certificate programs, and for-credit programs such as College Now.
Transfer degree programs saw an increase in enrollment from 7,504 in fall 2007 to 11,384 in fall
2012. The Liberal Arts & Sciences (LA1) program is by far the largest with 5,167 students enrolled in fall
2012, many of whom are enrolled in pre-nursing courses. The Business Administration transfer program
(BT1) has seen a steady increase over the years and is the second largest program at QCC with a total of
1,644 students in fall 2012. The fastest growing transfer degree programs are the Criminal Justice program
(CJ1), the Health Sciences program (HS1), the Engineering Science program (PE1), and the math and
sciences centered Liberal Arts & Sciences program (LS1).
Over the past five years, career degree programs have seen a decline in enrollments with the
exception of several STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programs such as the Computer
Engineering Technology program (CT2), the Mechanical Engineering Technology program (MT2), and the
New Media Technology program (EM2). In addition, the Digital Art and Design program (DA2), the Music
Production program (ME2), and the Medical Office Assistance program (MA2) have also recently seen
growth in enrollment.
Finally, the number of certificate students continues to decline with a total of 58 students enrolled
in fall 2012.
Fall 2012 has seen an increase in the percentage of full-time students from 63 percent in fall 2011
to 66.3 percent in fall 2012. Only 8.5 percent of first-time freshmen were part-time in fall 2012 compared to
15.5 percent in fall 2011. Although we saw a 6.7 percent decline in headcounts from fall 2011 to fall 2012,
the decline in student FTEs was only 3.2 percentage points due to an increase in full-time enrollment. More
female students were part-time than male students in fall 2012.

¹ Double majors are counted twice, therefore the total may be larger than the total headcount.
² Freshmen with an interest in nursing enroll now in the Liberal Arts subplan "Pre-Clinical Nursing", which explains the drop in the NP2 enrollment numbers.

¹ Double majors are counted twice, therefore the total may be larger than the total headcount.
² Freshmen with an interest in nursing enroll now in the Liberal Arts subplan "Pre-Clinical Nursing", which explains the drop in the NP2 enrollment numbers.

Queensborough Community College, 2012-2013
B. New Student Profile
The college enrolled 3,355 first-time freshmen and 734 advanced transfer students in fall 2012.
Freshmen were equally divided between male and female and primarily full-time (91.5 percent). Only 8.5
percent of freshmen were part-time in fall 2012. This constitutes a record low in part-time freshmen
enrollment suggesting that Queensborough is attracting more traditional college students.
Queensborough Community College is one of the most diverse campuses nation-wide with an almost equal
representation of the major ethnic groups among students. Among freshmen, Hispanic students represent the
largest ethnic group (30 percent), followed by an equal representation of Asian and Black students ( 21
percent each) and 19 percent White students.
Over 40 percent of the fall 2012 freshmen speak a language other than English at home. Spanish,
Chinese, Bengali, Korean, and Urdu were the most prevalent non-English languages among freshmen in fall
2012. QCC freshmen come from over 100 different countries.
The percentage of first-time freshmen entering with a GED as compared to a traditional high school
diploma has declined from 11 percent in fall 2007 to only 3 percent in fall 2012. Over sixty-eight percent of
freshmen (with a high school diploma) were New York City high school graduates and 47.5 percent of
advanced transfer students came from a CUNY or SUNY school.
Sixty-nine percent of fall 2012 freshmen were required to take a remedial math course, 25 percent
needed remedial writing, and close to 21 percent needed remedial reading.

Queensborough Community College, 2012-2013
C. Student Demographics
Queensborough Community College is one of the most diverse colleges in the nation. Our students
come from 139 countries and speak 87 different languages. Close to 30 percent of the students were born
outside the USA. They come from every corner of the globe including Asia, North and South America,
Africa, Europe, and Australia. The top five non-English native languages are Spanish, Chinese, Korean,
Bengali, and Urdu.
Twenty-eight percent of all degree students -- national and international -- are Hispanic, twenty-five
percent are Asian or Pacific Islander, twenty-five percent are Black, and twenty-two percent are White
(CUNY Internal Count, page 18).
Queensborough's degree students are getting younger. In fall 2012, the average age of first-time
freshmen was 19.5 years and 23.2 years of all associate's degree seeking students. Only 22 percent of our
degree students were 25 or older.
Fifty-three percent of degree students were female in fall 2011. Among first-time freshmen, male and
female students were represented equally.
Certificate students are primarily female and significantly older than associate's degree seeking
students.
The vast majority of our students are New York City residents and most live in Queens. About 15
percent of students commute from other boroughs and surrounding counties.

D. Academic Services
A new Freshman Academy Experience Survey was developed and 1,212 freshmen responded in fall
2012 with feedback on how they utilize support services, attend special events, and how they feel about
college. Close to 66 percent reported that they were referred to at least one support service by their Freshman
Coordinator in their first semester. Over 50 percent of those referred went to the Financial Aid Office, 22
percent went to the Writing Center, 18 percent went to the E-portfolio lab, 17 percent went to the Campus
Learning Center, and 12.5 percent went to the Academic Literacy Center among others. According to the
feedback given in fall 2012, 96 percent of the first semester freshmen have either a "positive" or "strongly
positive" attitude towards Queensborough.
Since the implementation of the Freshman Academies, students increasingly experience more high
impact practices (HI) in courses and other academic settings. Research shows that students who were
exposed to multiple high impact practices in a course such as a Student Wiki Interdisciplinary Group
(SWIG) do better. Course pass-rates (C or better) were higher among students who have experienced high
impact practices as part of an EN 101 or an SS 510 course. Hispanic students seem to benefit especially from
these practices.
One high impact practice is Service Learning. Learning outcomes in Service Learning courses are
aligned with authentic activities in community-based organizations, such as Hour Children, Saratoga Family
Inn, Alley Pond Environmental Center, Bayside Senior Center, and Bayside Historical Society. Students
provide health awareness, financial literacy, chair massages, as well as demonstrate engineering technology
to the broader college community. Seventy-two faculty implemented Service Learning activities in the 20112012 academic year to 38 community partners.
Our library continues to see an increase in patron visits, reference questions, and database searches
and offered more library hours per week in 2012 than the year before. Programs in Continuing Education and
Workforce Development continue to be strong and offerings have increased in the areas of remedial
programs, vocational grant programs, and in recreational, social programs.

Freshman Academies
The Freshman Academies were implemented in the fall of 2009. During that term, all first-time
freshmen were placed as members of one of six academies, in accordance with their field of interest. The six
academies were: Business, Visual and Performing Arts, Health Related Sciences, Liberal Arts, Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), and Education. For each academy an office was
established with staffing and at least one Freshman Coordinator. The Freshmen Coordinators (FCs) were
newly hired, entry-level advisors who quickly established a rapport with the freshmen before classes began,
and assisted them throughout their first two semesters. Each academy has at least one Faculty Coordinator
who serves as the principle academic liaison.
During the registration process, the FCs encouraged freshmen to enroll in courses which included high
impact (HI) practices (i.e., service learning, e-portfolio, learning communities, cornerstone courses, and
writing intensive courses.) The purpose of high impact activities is to enhance student engagement, motivation
and the learning of course content. A goal was set for freshmen to have experienced two of these HI courses
by their 30th credit.
Alongside the development of the Freshman Academies, a research protocol was created by DVP
Praxis, to assess the effectiveness of the Academies. It specified that the efforts of the Freshman Coordinators
and the use of high impact strategies would have beneficial outcomes such as:






Higher course success rates
Higher retention rates
Higher summer course enrollment rates
Higher credit completion rates
Higher student and faculty engagement with the college
Higher degree-attainment rates
Comparisons of outcomes are made between a Fall 2006 baseline/comparison cohort of all first-time,
full-time freshmen and the academy cohorts. Comparisons are also made within cohorts, to determine if high
impact experiences are associated with enhanced retention and course success. Separate analyses are
conducted for remedial and non-remedial students, whenever possible.
A new Freshman Academy Experience Survey was administered in the academic year 2012-13 to firsttime freshmen during the end of their first semester. The survey was designed to help the college to learn
more about how new freshman utilize support services, attend special events such as academy sponsored
events and College 101, and how they feel about the college. An important aspect of the survey is that it asks
students to give reasons why they did, or did not, participate in events and utilize support services. In addition,
a question was asked about their global satisfaction with Queensborough. A total of 1,212 freshman responded
to the survey in fall 2012. Figures 1 & 2 and table 1 show some of the results of the survey.

Analyses were made to examine the associations between student success outcomes and
enrollment in courses with high impact activities. Results have been generally positive, indicating that
higher pass rates and higher retention rates were associated with enrollment in classes with high impact
activities. The most consistent findings in course success or higher persistence at QCC have occurred
wherever students have experienced multiple high impact strategies, either within one course or through
multiple courses within a semester.
The efficacy of high impact (HI) strategies has been investigated for various courses, particularly
courses with high enrollments, such as Psychology (SS 510) and English Composition I (EN101). Five
semesters of Psychology course pass rates from fall 2009 to fall 2011 were aggregated to determine the
associations between pass rates and the experience of one or more high impact strategies. Comparisons
of pass rates were also made between groups of students enrolled in Psychology who experienced HI
strategies within the course and those who did not have any high impact experiences in Psychology. A
category of “Any HI” was constructed to account for all cases where one or more HIs were experienced
within a Psychology course. Only those who completed the course were counted in this analysis and a
grade of "C" or higher was considered as passing.

Table 2 shows the pass rates in Psychology (SS 510) by HI experienced. Higher pass rates were associated with

In subsequent analyses, the pass rates of students enrolled in Psychology were broken-down according
to student ethnicity. These analyses revealed that among all ethnicities with relatively large sample sizes
(Amercian Indian and Native Alaskan excluded,) those enrolled in Psychology courses with one or more HIs
had higher pass rates than those who did not have any HI experiences in their Psychology course. Furthermore,
as indicated in Table 3, Hispanic students seemed to have benefitted most from having one or more HI
experience in their Psychology course. The “overall gain” metric shows the difference in pass rates between
groups of students enrolled in Psychology sections with HI experiences (Any HI) and those without high impact
experiences (No HI). Relatively high pass rates were observed in students who had experienced multiple HI
activities.

English Composition I (EN101) is another course with high enrollments which had many sections
offering HI experiences. The efficacy of high impact (HI) strategies has been investigated for various sections
of EN101 in the same manner that they were examined with Psychology sections. Five semesters of English
Composition I course pass rates from fall 2009 to fall 2011 were aggregated to determine the associations
between pass rates and the experience of one or more high impact strategies.
Only those who completed the
course were counted in this analysis and a grade of "C" or higher was considered as passing. Table 4 shows the
pass rates in English 101 by HI experienced. Higher pass rates were associated with enrollment in sections of
EN101 which included one or more HI experiences.

It is expected that the Freshman Academies program will result in higher student engagement with the
college, higher motivation and improved course performance. All of this would be ultimately reflected in
increased retention and graduation rates. As shown in Table 6, the fall 2009 academy cohort had consistently
higher retention rates than the fall 2006 comparison cohort. The three-year graduation rate of the Academy
cohort is 27 percent higher than the baseline cohort's rate.

At the end of 2011, the office was awarded a $2.1M grant called CareerPATH. By the fall of 2012 the office
was serving over 100 students enrolled in the grant studying to become Medical Office Assistants,
Phlebotomy and EKG Technicians and Medical Billers and Coders through either a college degree or
certificate track or through non-college occupational training.
The department has narrowed the focus of its vocational programming but has increased its depth in the field
of allied healthcare. This area continues to provide employment opportunities at a rapid rate in NYC.
While adult enrichment programming has decreased, programs that serve our youth, specifically in
the Chinese Academy, have increased by 30%.

Queensborough Community College, 2012-2013
E. Grades, Academic Standing, Retention and
Graduation
The college-wide grade distribution is very stable at Queensborough. In the past five years, semester
grades showed the following pattern: about 30 percent of students received As, roughly 40 percent received
grades between B+ and C, and 27 to 30 percent received grades below a C.
Students do better in freshmen composition courses than in gateway mathematics courses. This might
be a reflection of incoming students' stronger remedial needs in mathematics.
The average number of credits earned by first-time full-time freshmen is rising. While the fall 2006
freshmen cohort earned 14.4 non-equated credits on average in one year, the fall 2011 freshmen cohort
earned 15.7 non-equated credits in the same time period. Twenty-three percent of new students take one or
more courses in the summer after entry. Transfer students are more likely to take summer courses than firsttime freshmen.
The one-year retention rate of the fall 2011 first-time full-time freshman cohort was 69.2 percent. An
additional 1.2 percent transferred to another college within CUNY and 3.4 percent transferred to a college
outside CUNY by fall 2012. Minority and gender gaps have widened for the fall 2011 cohort. While the oneyear retention rate of underrepresented students (black, Hispanic, Native American) was 5.7 percentage
points lower for the fall 2010 cohort, the fall 2011 cohort showed a difference of only 7.4 percentage points
between underrepresented and non-underrepresented student groups. The one-year retention rate of the male
students was 3 percentage points lower compared to the rate of the female students for the fall 2010 cohort.
This gap has widened to 6.6 percentage points for the fall 2011 cohort.
The three-year graduation rate at QCC has increased from 13.8 percent for the fall 2008 first-time
full-time freshman cohort to 16.2 percent for the fall 2009 cohort. Roughly 30 percent of the fall 2009 cohort
was still enrolled at QCC or another CUNY college after three years and another 8 percent had transferred to
a college outside CUNY.
The six-year graduation rate for the fall 2006 first-time full-time QCC freshmen was 25.3 percent. An
additional 8.7 percent graduated from another college (within or outside CUNY), which brings the overall
six-year graduation rate to 34 percent for the fall 2006 first-time full-time freshmen cohort.

Queensborough Community College, 2012-2013
F. Degrees Awarded and Transfer-Out
Queensborough Community College has granted 1,737 associate's degrees and 14 certificates in the
academic year 2011-2012 (summer 2011, fall 2011, spring 2012 graduations combined). The programs with
the largest numbers of graduates were the Liberal Arts & Sciences program (LA1), the Business
Administration program (BT1), the Nursing Science program (NS2), the math and science focused Liberal
Arts & Sciences program (LS1) and the Criminal Justice program (CJ1). These programs together granted a
total of 1,236 associate's degrees in the academic year 2011-2012. The Criminal Justice program (CJ1) in
particular quadrupled the number of degrees awarded from last year. To date, Queensborough Community
College has awarded 56,892 degrees and certificates.
Close to sixty-eight percent of 2011-2012 transfer degree graduates (872 graduates) transferred to a
senior college (CUNY or outside CUNY) within one year. An additional 190 graduates from career programs
transferred (42.2 percent of career program graduates). Transfer rates were calculated by counting a graduate
transferred if he or she had registered in a senior college (CUNY or outside CUNY) in any or all semester(s)
of the academic year following the graduation year (for the 2011-2012 graduates that were the academic terms
summer 2012, fall 2012, and spring 2013 -- summer only registrations not counted). Forty percent of all 201112 graduates who transferred to a senior school went to Queens College, 16 percent went to a school outside
CUNY, nine percent went to Baruch College, and eight percent each went to Hunter College or York College.
A National Student Clearinghouse search revealed that many QCC students transfer to other schools
before earning a degree. Not surprising, most students who transfer without a degree come from the largest
programs such as the Liberal Arts and Sciences programs (LA1 and LS1), the Business Administration
program (BT1), the Health Sciences program (HS1), and the Criminal Justice program (CJ1). Some of the
smaller programs however have proportionally larger percentages of students leaving for another school. For
example about 10 percent of the Engineering Science program (PE1) students transfer to senior colleges
before earning an associate's degree at QCC (about half of those transfer to a school outside CUNY). Another
program that loses relatively many of its students to senior colleges is the Dual Joint Liberal Arts & Sciences
and Education program (LE1) which sees about 8 percent of its students leave to a senior school without a
degree (mostly to Queens College).

Queensborough Community College, 2012-2013
G. Faculty & Staff
Queensborough Community College increased the number of full-time faculty to 384 in fall 2012, the
largest number of full-time faculty in the past seven years. The number of higher education officers (HEO)
has also increased in the past seven years from 92 in fall 2006 to 140 in fall 2012.
For the first time, females are equally represented among full-time faculty with the rank of professor in
fall 2012 (33 out of 67 professors were female in fall 2012). Sixty-three percent of HEOs were female in fall
2012.
The full-time equivalent (FTE) students to one full-time faculty ratio has gone down in fall 2012 to
29.6 FTE students per faculty due to an increase in faculty hiring and a slight decline in student FTEs.
