History
The Tennessee Higher Education Commission was created in 1967 by the Tennessee General Assembly
to coordinate and foster unity within higher education. The Commission coordinates two systems of
public higher education: the University of Tennessee institutions, governed by the University of
Tennessee Board of Trustees, and the state universities, community colleges, and colleges of applied
technology governed by the Tennessee Board of Regents. There are currently nine public universities,
13 community colleges, and 27 colleges of applied technology in Tennessee that serve over 240,000
students collectively. Tennessee’s independent institutions (non-profit and for-profit) bring statewide
enrollment for fall 2014 to more than 380,000 students.
The Commission is composed of nine lay members appointed by the Governor for six year terms who
represent the state’s congressional districts, three Constitutional Officers who are ex-officio voting
members (Comptroller of the Treasury, State Treasurer, and Secretary of State), two ex-officio student
members who serve two year terms, and the Executive Director of the State Board of Education, who is
an ex-officio non-voting member.
Current Context
In January 2010, the General Assembly passed the Complete College Tennessee Act (CCTA), a
comprehensive reform agenda that seeks to transform public higher education through changes in
academic, fiscal and administrative policies at the state and institutional levels. While the higher
education landscape has been shaped by the CCTA, higher education is evolving to adopt Governor Bill
Haslam’s statewide reform agenda, collectively known as the “Drive to 55.”
Calendar year 2015 will usher in a new long-range plan that will supplant the 2010-2015 Public Agenda
for Tennessee Higher Education, which helped set the stage for transformational change in Tennessee
higher education. Stated succinctly, this plan seeks to: (1) make dramatic increases in degree production
and efficiency; (2) within available resources (state operating appropriations plus tuition); (3) without
diminishing educational quality; (4) thereby improving community, county, and statewide postsecondary
attainment; (5) to support improvements in workforce capacity and quality as well as economic and
community (i.e., workplace) development.

Notes: Proprietary enrollment is reported annually. To isolate the proprietary sector’s fall enrollment, the ratio of
public institutions’ fall enrollment to 12 month enrollment was averaged over three years (2011, 2012, and 2013).
This percentage (84.39 percent) was then applied to the 2013-2014 headcount of the proprietary sector to derive the
estimated fall headcount.
Excludes not-for-profit private institutions not participating in TICUA.
TCAT enrollment is preliminary. Public and TICUA institution headcount based on end of term data.
Percentages may not add to 100 percent due to rounding.

race. If a student identified their ethnicity as Hispanic, they appear in the “Hispanic” column as well as the column for their race designation, pursuant to
Department of Education reporting guidelines. Retention rates are inter-institutional within the public system.

Notes: “Remedial and Developmental Success” uses the definition set forth in the funding formula, and refers to the
number of full-time and part-time students who were enrolled in any remedial or developmental course who then
successfully completed college-level courses in a subsequent semester within three years of their initial enrollment.
Census date is used instead of end-of-term date because THEC does not collect course level data. For example, if a
student is enrolled for 15 credit hours at the census date and finishes the semester with 12 credit hours, THEC is unable
to determine which class the student did not complete.
The Complete College Tennessee Act enacted in January 2010 requires that Tennessee public universities stop
delivering remedial and developmental courses by July 1, 2012.

Notes: Total Grads were first-time, full-time freshmen (FTFTF) who enrolled summer of 2008 and returned that fall, or enrolled fall 2008 and graduated from either
their admitting institution or another institution by spring or summer of 2014. Graduates from the summer of 2014 were included along with traditionally reported
spring graduates to align with IPEDS reporting. The grad rate for the Total Grads category is a distinct count of students and includes all in-and out-of-state
graduates. The graduation rate for the Grads from Admitting Institution category consists of students who began at their admitting institution and graduated from
that same institution within six years. Graduates in the TN Public or TN Private Institutions columns may be duplicated; students graduated from either their
admitting institution or another institution, or both their admitting institution and another institution.

Notes: Calculated Enrollment is the difference between total enrolled during the period less students still enrolled.
This is the definition developed by the Council for Occupational Education, the TCAT accreditation body.
Completers Available for Placement are those that are not enlisted in the military or seeking additional education, as
well as any that are not documented to be unavailable for employment because of situations such as pregnancy, other
serious health-related issues (physical/mental/behavioral), caring for ill family members, incarceration, death, etc.

Notes: Within the state’s Quality Assurance program, formerly Performance Funding, institutions are required to
evaluate undergraduate and graduate programs. The accreditation process satisfies the Quality Assurance requirements
for programs that are eligible for accreditation. Other programs must undergo evaluation by external consultants or
trained teams of auditors. Currently, 587 programs are eligible for accreditation. Eligibility is determined when all
Tennessee institutions agree on a specific accreditor as best representing qualitative standards for each discipline.

Notes: Courses are termed “e-learning” when more than 50 percent of the content is delivered electronically.
Four-year institutions in Florida use an 80 percent rule to define e-learning. Two-year colleges in Florida and
Mississippi use a 75 percent rule to define e-learning; therefore, figures for those states are lower than they would have
been had they used the 50 percent rule.
Georgia did not report in 2013-14.

Note: The formula for calculating weighted average salaries changed in 2012-13 because IPEDS changed the categories
of contract length in its HR survey. Nine-month equivalent salaries are now calculated by dividing the total salary
outlay by the total number of service months and multiplying by 9. As such, 2012-13 and subsequent years are not
directly comparable to prior years. Dollars are unadjusted for inflation. Data includes all institutions.

Note: 1- The tuition rates for students admitted to UTK in the fall of 2013 and later are flat rates for 15 semester credit
hours, regardless of the number of credit hours taken by the student. This policy ("Fifteen in Four") was approved in
2012 by the UT Board for introduction in fall 2013. Under this new initiative, tuition and fees are now being structured
around cohorts.
2- The maintenance fees reported for 2013-14 and 2014-15 are weighted averages of the fees charged across all three
cohorts. The percent increase in maintenance fees for sophomores at UTK is the increase from 2013-14 to 2014-15 for
the cohort of students admitted in fall 2013, spring 2014 or summer 2014. However, if the total tuition and fee rate for
2013-14 sophomores is compared to the rate for 2014-15 sophomores, mandatory and maintenance fees increased by
19.6 percent. This comparison reflects the second of a four year phase-in of the UTK initiative.

of State Taxes"; Updated December 2014
Notes: State appropriations include funds for medical and health programs, state-level financial aid programs for
students, state funds for private colleges and universities, and state funds for coordinating or governing boards of public
colleges and universities. State appropriations exclude dollars for capital construction and debt payments. Also
excluded are funds from sources other than state tax funds, including all funds from student fees, federal sources, and
local sources. Seven SREB states, excluding Tennessee, also provide significant additional local funding for higher
education operations.

Notes: State appropriations are recurring general operating revenues.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) provided non-recurring federal funds to Tennessee higher education over the three year period from FY
08-09 to FY 10-11. ARRA also included a Maintenance of Effort (MoE) provision that required states to maintain funding for FY08-09 to FY10-11 at FY05-06
levels in order to qualify for ARRA funds.
Tuition and fees include all in-state and out-of-state tuition and mandatory fee revenues.
Dollars are adjusted for inflation using the Commonfund Institute Higher Education Price Index (HEPI).

Definitions
Auxiliary Enterprise: An entity that exists to furnish goods or services to students, faculty, or staff, and that charges a fee
directly related to the cost of the goods or services (essentially self-supporting). Examples include: residence halls, food
services, college stores, parking garages, etc.
Census Date: The traditional date on which the first degree credit headcount and full-time equivalent enrollment reports
are generated for all Tennessee public institutions. Beginning fall 2010, institutions also report end-of-term data. Table
1.3 provides an end-of-term enrollment figure.
Degree Credit: Credit that the institution designates as regular, occupational, certificate, extension or co-op.
Formula Units: Academic entities that derive their operating funds from the public higher education funding formula.
Includes public universities, community colleges, and colleges of applied technology.
Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Enrollment: For undergraduate students, fall term FTE is the total number of credits
attempted divided by 12. For graduate students, the fall term FTE is the total number of credits attempted divided by 9.
For students in clock hour courses, the academic year FTE is the total number of clock hours divided by 900.
University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UT HSC) FTE: At UT HSC, the number of full time students
cannot be reliably calculated based on credit hours due to the high (and variable) number of credit hours taken by
students in the health professions. Many programs are year round, with ‘semesters’ lasting 6 months, and students
are enrolled in a number of sequential courses during this period. In addition, many of the courses involve
clerkship experiences requiring 40 hours per week for 4 or more weeks such that credit hours accumulate quickly.
Since the curriculum is fixed for most of these programs and students proceed in a lock step manner without
options to pursue coursework part time, UT HSC reports FTE based on the number of students enrolled in each of
the professional programs. Exceptions that allow for part time students (e.g. in the graduate school and in
