Annual FTE Program Distributions for
Student Development Division 1994 - 2003
Office of Research
December 18, 2003
It should be noted that the left vertical axes on the
graphs are set to different scales depending on the course prefix
annual FTE. What may appear to be a steeper decline on a
graph as compared to another graph may not be steeper due to
the vertical scale.
The following pages provide ten-year annual FTE
graphs for each prefix or program within the Student
Development Division and for the Division overall. Each
graph shows both a prefix graph (with scale on the left) and an
overall Harper graph (with scale on the right). Following the
graphs, a table containing FTE values for each prefix is
provided. Data were obtained from the Registrar’s Office.
Some general comments related to the graphs are given
below:
Each graph has 10-year (1994-2003) and 5-year (19992003) standardized beta coefficients for linear trends reported.
Trends significant at the .05 level are followed by *, trends
significant at the .01 level are followed by **, and trends not
significantly different from 0 (a horizontal line) are followed
by ns. The standardized beta coefficients were obtained from
linear regression analyses although some of the graphs are
clearly not linear. Standardized coefficients were used to allow
comparison of coefficients. Standardized beta coefficients
range from –1 to +1 with zero indicating enrollment was steady
(neither increasing nor decreasing by very much). Negative
values indicate downward trends; positive values indicate
upward trends.
·
The overall 10-year Harper trend was not
significant, but the strong 5-year trend upward was
significant.
·
DIV had a significant 6-year upward trend, and
ORN had a significant 5-year upward trend.
·
The STU DEV Division exhibited a significant 10year downward trend.
A significant result indicates the presence of a
significant linear component. If the probability of obtaining a
beta coefficient different from zero when there was no linear
trend was less than .05, the trend line was considered
significant. A non-significant result indicates either the FTE
changed very little from year to year or no linear trend was
present.
