UTICA COLLEGE
General Education Core - Audit
Fall 2008
The core audit report is a quantitative summary of the core program at
Utica College. Once again I have turned the data into charts that display
information for the general education core, for each goal within core, and
for each class within each goal. The data displayed, reading from top to
bottom, show:
Sections – The number of sections offered of a class or in a goal
#Full/Over – The number of sections that are either full or over-enrolled
Capacity – The capacity in terms of students for a course or goal
Enrolled – The number of students actually enrolled in a course or goal
% Enrolled - The number of students enrolled as a percentage of the
capacity
% by FT – the percentage of sections in a course or goal that are taught
by full-time faculty
I graphed only the last two categories.
Three things to note. (1) I did not include in the graphs classes that were
not offered. (2) In goal 8, the sciences, I counted labs and lectures
equally as sections, as I did last semester. (3) While Banner's information
is reliable, I may still have made errors in creating the charts. If you spot
anything amiss, please let me know.
