A system dynamics model of the relationship between the distribution of a universitys funds and its enrollment patterns by Mark Andrew Hinrichs A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE i n Industrial and Management Engineering Montana State University © Copyright by Mark Andrew Hinrichs (1981) Abstract: The well-documented coming decline in the number of college age youth has profound implications for the future of higher education. Barring fundamental changes in the nature of higher educations university administrators face the prospect of having to deal with the unpleasant reality of an imbalance in the demand for education and the extant capacity to supply education. The complex nature of the inter-related processes, however, makes intuitive human assessments of the effects of policy decisions of questionable accuracy. This situation implies the need for a facility whereby higher education managers can project and contrast the effects of a range of alternate policies. Of particular interest is the relationship between the distribution of today's funds upon tomorrow's enrollments. The techniques of System Dynamics were applied to this problem. The system of budgeting which molds the university’s degree program offerings, which Iin turn influences the overall enrollment profile of the university was studied in depth. A computer simulation model using the DYNAMO simulation language was built to represent this system. Imbedded in the model were demographic data descriptive of the conditions in the state of Montana and other data specific to conditions and procedures found at Montana State University. In the limited sense, this thesis project demonstrates the effectivity of the application, of the principles, of System Dynamics to the relationship between the distribution of funds in a university and the resulting enrollment profile the university eventually experiences. More importantly, it. illustrates the use of an approach to the solution of large-scale problems which has' tremendous potential for improving the manner in which we deal with the wealth of such problems this society currently faces.
