Annual FTE Program Distributions for
Wellness and Human Performance 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 Wellness and
Human Performance 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.
·
Neither the PED prefix nor the Division FTE graphs
exhibited significant 10-year or 5-year upward
trends.
·
The PED prefix annual FTE and WHP Division
graphs had significant 10-year downward trends.
No graphs had a significant 5-year downward trend.
Note: Programs moved from another division are
included in the division totals only when they were
actually in the division.
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.
