Students Data Sources: Unless otherwise noted, all data used for the student section of this book are from the Student Information System (SIS). Enrollment summaries include headcounts and full‐time equivalency (FTE) totals for all students actively enrolled at Carnegie Mellon as of the last fiscal day of September. Degree summaries include degrees awarded during an entire academic year. Other Sources: Admission Activity: Undergraduate Admission Office Athletics: Department of Athletics National Average SAT Scores: www.collegeboard.org Post‐graduation Data: Career and Professional Development Center Study Abroad: Office of International Education Undergraduate Research: Undergraduate Research Office Definitions: Student Levels: Undergraduate: Students enrolled as first‐year, sophomore, junior, senior, or fifth‐year students Graduate: Students enrolled in Master's or Doctoral programs Special: Students who are not enrolled in a university degree program Citizenship and Race Categories: International: Students who are neither citizens nor permanent residents of the United States, regardless of the country in which their Carnegie Mellon University program is located US Citizens and Permanent Residents self‐identify from among these categories: American Indian, Asian, Black, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and White Multiracial: Students who identify as more than one race are reported as multiracial (minority) if any race is American Indian, Black, or Hispanic; and multiracial (majority) if no race is American Indian, Black, or Hispanic Minority: Students who identify as American Indian, Black, or Hispanic are reported as minority students Female and Minority Students: These counts are not mutually exclusive; for example, a Hispanic female is counted as both a female and a minority Enrollment by Location of Study: These tables contain the enrollment of students by their physical location of study for all of Carnegie Mellon’s Middle States approved branch campuses, additional locations, and other instructional sites. This classification differs from others in the Enrollment section in that it categorizes students by their location, rather than by their home college/department. For example, a student who has a home college of Qatar, but who is studying at the Pittsburgh campus on the last fiscal day of September, will be classified as location of Pittsburgh, PA and home college of Qatar. Academic Year (Degrees Awarded): Includes three semesters in the following order: summer, fall, and spring Branch Campuses: Includes students enrolled at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar and Silicon Valley Headcount: Each student, full‐ or part‐time, is counted once Full‐time Equivalent (FTE): Each full‐time student is counted once; part‐time students are counted based on the percentage of full‐time tuition paid Undeclared: Student is enrolled in that college but has not yet declared a major Retention: The percentage of enrolled students who return to the university during a specific time frame. For example, first‐year to second‐year retention is the percentage of students enrolled in the first year who return for their second year 27
