
In Fall 2011, there were 15,147 degree students enrolled of whom 9,515 (63%) were full-time
students. The curricula with the highest enrollment are Liberal Arts and Sciences (A.A.), Business
Administration (A.S.), Criminal Justice (A.S.), Health Sciences (A.S.), and Liberal Arts and Sciences
(A.S.).

An additional 1,690 students were non-degree. The majority of this latter group were high school
students who are part of the College Now program, which enrolls high school students in college
courses.

Queensborough is a very diverse campus with students from 129 countries. The majority live in
Queens. Thirty-nine percent speak a language other than English at home.

Queensborough is an open admissions campus; Seventy percent of the incoming freshmen require at
least one remedial course. In the academic year 2009-10, 59 percent of all first-time full-time
freshmen and 42 percent of all degree students received Pell grants.

The six-year graduation rate from Queensborough for the Fall ’05 cohort is 25.2%. 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.

In the academic year 2010-11, there were 1,722 graduates. The curricula with the most degrees were
Liberal Arts and Sciences (604), Business Administration (343), and Nursing (136).

Queensborough Community College, 2012
A. QCC Enrollment
Queensborough Community College has seen significant enrollment growth, especially since the
economic downturn of 2008. We have seen a ten percent increase of enrollment from fall 2010 to fall 2011,
totaling 16,837 students in fall 2011. The largest growth could be observed in the transfer degree programs.
With four new programs added (Gallery & Museum Studies, Biotechnology, Criminal Justice, and Science for
Forensics), transfer degree programs saw an increase in enrollment from 6,939 in fall 2006 to 11,822 in fall
2011. The Liberal Arts & Sciences (LA1) program is by far the largest with 5,323 students enrolled in fall
2011. The Business Administration transfer program has seen a steady increase over the years and is the
second largest program at QCC with a total of 1,682 students in fall 2011. The fastest growing transfer degree
programs are the Criminal Justice program (CJ1), the Health Sciences program (HS1), and the math and
sciences centered Liberal Arts & Sciences program (LS1).
Career degree programs remain steady overall with modest to strong growth in STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering and Math) programs such as the Computer Engineering Technology program (CT2),
the Mechanical Engineering Technology program (MT2), the New Media Technology program (EM2) and
others. Overall QCC's STEM enrollment has grown significantly from 1,332 in fall 2006 to 2,294 in fall 2011,
a 72 percent increase.
The pre-clinical nursing program saw a steep decline over the past five years. This is probably due to
the fact that more freshmen are initially enrolling in the Liberal Arts program where they can fulfill similar
pre-requisites for a career in the Health Sciences or Nursing.
Finally, the number of certificate students has dropped by almost 50 percent from fall 2006 to fall 2011.
After a steady increase of our full-time associate's student population over the past five years (from
58.7 percent in fall 2006 to 67.1 percent in fall 2010), the percent of full-time students decreased in fall 2011
(63 percent of associate's students). This change is also reflected in a slight decline of the FTE (full-time
equivalent) to heads ratio college-wide which has changed from 0.72 in fall 2010 to 0.70 in fall 2011. Fifty
percent of the first-time freshmen in associate's degree programs were female in fall 2011.

to fall 2010. This constitutes a departure from a full-time status trend in the past few years at QCC and at
CUNY in general.
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 advanced transfers, the
percentage of Hispanic students increased from 17 percent in fall 2010 (and around 20 percent in the years
prior) to 25 percent in fall 2011.
Over 39 percent of the fall 2011 freshmen speak a language other than English at home. Spanish,
Chinese, Korean, Urdu, and Russian were the most prevalent non-English languages among freshmen in fall
2011. 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 5 percent in fall 2011. Sixty-nine percent of
freshmen (with a high school diploma) were New York City high school graduates. Close to 50 percent of
advanced transfer students came from a CUNY or SUNY school. The fall 2011 incoming class saw
proportionally more transfer students (22 percent of new students) compared to fall 2010 where only 16
percent of the new students were advanced transfers.
Seventy-two percent of first-time freshmen entering fall 2011 demonstrated some remedial need
and 10 percent exhibited remedial need in three subject areas -- reading, writing, and math. This is lower
than the overall remedial needs demonstrated at community colleges CUNY-wide where 83 percent of firsttime freshmen had some form of remedial need and 19 percent needed remediation in all three subjects
(CUNY Master Plan Draft 4-2-12, pp 21).

Remediation at Queensborough Community College
Over seventy percent of first-time freshmen in fall 2011 required some remediation with ten percent
needing help in reading, writing, and math. The part-time freshmen demonstrated higher remedial needs
where 85.5 percent needed some form of remediation and close to 13 percent needed remediation in all three
areas. Overall however, the percent of freshmen requiring remediation in all three categories declined
significantly from 16 percent in fall 2010 to 10 percent in fall 2011 (Table 1). This might be due to the
CATW being an easier writing test to pass.

More freshmen (both full- and part-time) required remedial courses in fall 2011 compared to the
previous two freshmen cohorts. This is probably due to an increase in the failure rate on the math placement
test in fall 2011 and a decline in math exemptions (see Table 2).

Fall 2011 freshmen at Queensborough Community College demonstrated lower remedial needs
compared to CUNY-wide entering freshmen. Across all CUNY community colleges 83 percent of all firsttime freshmen entering in fall 2011 demonstrated some remedial need and 19 percent exhibited remedial
need in three areas (CUNY Master Plan Draft 4-2-12, pp 21).

C. Student Demographics
Queensborough Community College is one of the most diverse colleges in the nation. Our students
come from 129 countries, speak 99 different languages, and show an almost equal representation of the major
ethnic groups. Over 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 Russian.
Queensborough's degree students are getting younger. In fall 2011, the average age of first-time
freshmen was 19.7 years and 23.3 years of all associate's degree seeking students. Only 22 percent of our
degree students were 25 or older.
Fifty-four 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. Over 26 percent of certificate students were 45 or older in fall 2011 and 78 percent were female.
This is probably due to the nature of our certificate programs. The majority of fall 2011 students were enrolled
in the School Secretary and the Medical Office Assistant certificate programs.
The vast majority of our students are New York City residents and most live in Queens. Under 15
percent of students commute from other boroughs and surrounding counties.

D. Academic Services
Since the implementation of the Freshman Academies, students experience increasingly 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) course do better. One high impact practice is Service Learning. Students might be involved in an
oral history project, assess the fitness of local residents and provide health information to the community,
or develop educational material for a variety of needs. Forty-eight faculty developed and implemented a
Service Learning practice in the academic year 2010-2011. Higher half-year retention rates have been
observed in students enrolled in several different courses which incorporated service learning. The retention
rates and two-year graduation rates have increased since the implementation of the Academies and are
continuously monitored.
Our library has seen an increase in patron visits, book circulations, and reference questions and
offered 77 more library instruction sessions in 2011 than the year before. Programs in Continuing Education
and Workforce Development offerings have increased in the areas of remedial, community services, and
vocational 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 also had a Faculty Coordinator.
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 to 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.
As part of the protocol, the Freshman Academy Survey has been given to the first-time full time freshmen
during the first and tenth week of their first semester. This survey measures engagement with the college through
questions about the frequency of use of various support services and their helpfulness.
In addition, there are questions about the freshmen's experience of the enrollment process. There is also an
open-ended comment section allowing students to express their thoughts and concerns. Since 2009, over 8,570
freshmen have been surveyed and consistent response patterns have emerged. As Figure 1 illustrates, among multiple
freshman academy cohorts, a great majority of the freshmen felt welcome at QCC during the enrollment process.

Analyses were made to examine associations between student success outcomes and enrollment in courses
with high impact activities. Results have been mixed as the relationship between outcomes and high impact
experiences is very complex. 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.

Queensborough Community College, 2012
Across various semesters, students have benefitted by enrolling in SWIG (Student Wiki Interdisciplinary
Group) courses, which include multiple high impact experiences. Table 1 show that in a comparision of students
enrolled in SWIG versus non-SWIG English 101 classes in the fall of 2010, those enrolled in the SWIG sections had
higher pass-rates and were more likely to enroll in the spring 2011 semester.

* A grade of "C" or higher 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 2, the fall 2009 academy cohort had
consistently higher retention rates than the fall 2006 comparison cohort. The two-year graduation rate of
the Academy cohort is 41 percent higher than the baseline cohort's rate. By the end of the summer of 2012,
the three-year graduation rate will be calculated for the academy cohort and various sub-group comparisons
and analyses will be made.

Additions to programming in Continuing Education came mainly in the form of grant awards. The office
was awarded a second Workforce Development Initiative grant to provide hospitality workers with entry
and advanced level contextualized English Language Skills. The department also partnered with the
community based organization, STRIVE, and provided occupational training for Medical Billing and
Coding. And the third grant, a 21st Century Community Learning Center NYSED grant, provided
programming for high school and middle school students from local DOE schools in need of
improvement. The high school students earned college and high school credits and both groups were
provided extensive wrap-around services.
Remedial programming enrollment increased due to the introduction of a new pre-college program,
CUNY Start which provides students with one term, 25 hours per week, instruction in remedial reading,
writing and mathematics.
The office of Continuing Education and Workforce Development continues to offer enrichment programs
to both our K-12 community and to adults.

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 28 to 30 percent received grades below a C.
Incoming freshmen do better in freshmen composition courses than in gateway mathematics courses.
This is 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 2010 freshmen cohort earned
15.6 non-equated credits in the same time period. About one quarter of new students take one or more
courses in the summer after entry. Transfer students are more likely to take summer courses than first time
freshmen.
One-year retention rates of first-time full-time freshmen have gone up from 65.8 percent retained of
the fall 2006 freshmen cohort to 72.1 percent retained of the fall 2010 freshmen cohort. Minority and gender
gaps have become smaller. While the one-year retention rate of underrepresented students (black, Hispanic,
Native American) was 8.2 percentage points lower for the fall 2009 cohort, the fall 2010 cohort showed a
difference of only 5.7 percentage points between underrepresented and non-underrepresented student groups.
The one-year retention rate of the male students was 5.2 percentage points lower compared to the rate of the
female students for the fall 2009 cohort. This gap has narrowed to 3.0 percentage points for the fall 2010
cohort.
Three-year graduation rates at QCC were 13.9 percent for the fall 2008 first-time full-time freshmen
cohort. Roughly 47 percent of QCC's first-time full-time freshmen either graduated or are still enrolled in a
CUNY college after three years.
The six-year graduation rate for the fall 2005 first-time full-time QCC freshmen was 25.2 percent. An
additional 5.4 percent graduated from another CUNY college, which brings the system-wide six-year
graduation rate to 30.6 percent for the fall 2005 first-time full-time freshmen cohort.
Academic probation rates went down from 11 percent in fall 2010 to 7 percent in fall of 2011. A
higher percentage of dismissed students were given continued probation in spring 2011 (46 percent of
dismissed) and fall 2011 (39 percent of dismissed) compared to prior terms.

Queensborough Community College, 2012
F. Degrees Awarded and Transfer-Out
Queensborough Community College has granted 1,701 associate's degrees and 21 certificates in the
academic year 2010-2011 (summer 2010, fall 2010, spring 2011 graduations combined). This was a 24
percent increase from the prior academic year 2009-2010 when 1,389 associate's degrees and 25 certificates
were awarded. 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), and the Business
Accounting program (BA2). These programs together granted a total of 1,166 associate's degrees in the
academic year 2010-2011.
The Criminal Justice program (CJ1) and the Dual/Joint Liberal Arts and Science and Education
program (LE1) together doubled the number of degrees awarded from 45 in 2009-2010 to 90 associate's
degrees awarded in 2010-2011.
To date, Queensborough Community College has awarded over 55 thousand degrees and certificates.
Sixty five percent of 2009-2010 transfer degree graduates (609 graduates) transferred to a CUNY senior
college within one year. An additional 142 graduates from career programs transferred (31.2 percent of career
program graduates). This has been the largest transfer rate in the past five years. Tranfer rates were calculated
by counting a graduate transferred if he or she had registered in a CUNY senior college (including the
Graduate School and University Center, the Law School, the School of Professional Studies, and the School
of Journalism) in any or all semester(s) of the academic year following the graduation year (for the 2009-2010
graduates that was the academic year 2010-2011).
The programs with the largest percentages of transfers were the Dual/Joint Liberal Arts and Science
& Education program (LE1), the Engineering Science program (PE1), the Business Accounting program
(BA2), and the Business Administration program (BT1). As might be expected, the Dual/Joint Liberal Arts
and Science & Education program (LE1) had the largest percentage of graduates transfer to a senior college
(89.5 percent) followed by the Engineering Science program (PE1) which saw six of its seven 2009-2010
graduates transfer, and the Business Accounting program (BA2) which had 82.1 percent of its 2009-2010
graduates transfer to a senior CUNY college in 2010-2011 (almost exclusively to Queens College). A total of
192 graduates or 73.6 percent of the Business Administration program (BT1) transferred to a CUNY senior
college (most graduates went to Baruch or Queens College).

G. Faculty & Personnel
Queensborough Community College increased the number of full-time faculty from 288 in fall 2006
to 346 in fall 2011. In fall 2010 the college had 357 full-time faculty employed, the largest number of fulltime faculty in the past five years. The percentage of female full-time faculty has grown from 48.6 percent in
fall 2006 to 54.3 percent in fall 2011.
The number of higher education officers (HEO) has also increased in the past five years from
92 in fall 2006 to 130 in fall 2011. Sixty-five percent of HEOs were female in fall 2011.
The full-time equivalent (FTE) student enrollment is growing at a faster pace than the number of fulltime faculty. This led to an increase in the FTE students to one full-time faculty ratio. While in fall 2006 28.6
full-time equivalent students were enrolled per one full-time faculty, this number increased to 34.0 full-time
equivalent students enrolled per one full-time faculty in fall 2011.
