  1. ______________________________________________________________________agraphical Analysis of the FALL 2009 OPENINGENROLLMENTREPORTof the Maryland Public Four Year InstitutionsDecember 11, 2009 Prepared by the Office of Institutional Research University of Baltimore

  2. Preface • 2 This graphical analysis provides a brief overview of the opening fall term enrollments for the public four-year institutions of Maryland. This constitutes the second year of this report, the prior report reflecting enrollments only in the University of Maryland system. This year’s report includes data for Morgan State University and St. Mary’s College of Maryland in order to provided a more comprehensive summary of enrollments. Comparisons are made herein for headcount only, on a one-year and five-year basis. The disparate size of these institutions warrants comparison on a percentage change and percent-of-total basis, rather than on the levels of enrollment. Though, if a particular population is exceptionally small, the enrolment level or the level of change may be shown as a supplementary item. Highlight notes for the graphs are also added this year. Data for this report is taken from (a) University System of Maryland Report, Fall 2009 Preliminary Opening Enrollment and FY 2010 Estimated FTE Report and (b) the Maryland Higher Education Commission, 2009 Opening Fall Enrollment for Morgan State University and St. Mary’s College of Maryland. Please send your questions and suggestions to the Office of Institutional Research, 249 AC Building.

  3. Highlights • UB was 1st in percent increase among USM institutions in: • full-time undergraduates, 1-year change • full-time undergraduates, 5-year change • UB also ranked well in percentage increase by placing: • 2nd in total enrollment, 1-year change • 2rd in total enrollment, 5-year change • 3rd in first-time, full-time freshmen, 1-year change • 3rd in part-time undergraduate enrollment, 5-year change 3

  4. Total Enrollment, 1-year percent change Fall 2008 to Fall 2009 Highlight: UB ranks 2nd this year in total enrollment growth and 1st last year—for both years combined, UB ranks 1st. UB’s growth rate is more than double the MD Public 4-year median growth rate. 4

  5. Total Enrollment, 5-year percent change Fall 2004 to Fall 2009 Highlight: UB growth is not a “one or two year phenomenon,” but shows a strong 2nd place ranking over 5 years, and 1st among non-extension missioned institutions. 5

  6. Full-time Undergraduate, 1-year percent change Fall 2008 to Fall 2009 Highlight: UB is 1st in full-time undergraduate growth for the 2nd consecutive year. Its growth rate is nearly 4 times the 3rd ranking institution. 6

  7. Full-time Undergraduates, 5-year percent change Fall 2004 to Fall 2009 Highlight: the strength of UB undergraduate growth is exemplified its exceptional growth the 5-year comparison period exceeds the addition of the first-second year program in fall 2007. 7

  8. Part-time Undergraduate, 1-year percent change Fall 2008 to Fall 2009 Highlight: A number of the institutions with strong traditional enrollments are showing declines in fall 2009 for part-time undergraduate enrollment. UB continues steady growth in these enrollments; the only institution to record two consecutive years of growth. 8

  9. Part-time Undergraduates, 5-year percent changeFall 2004 to Fall 2009 Highlight: There is significant movement away from part-time undergraduate enrollment at most UM Public 4-year institutions, while UB retains double-digit growth. The current 5-year leader, UM, Baltimore, recorded a decrease of 7.8% in its current 1-year growth rate. 9

  10. Full-time Graduate/First-Professional, 1-year percent change, Fall 2008 to Fall 2009 Note: Significant shifts in UB’s graduate percentage change are moderated by the large and stable Law School enrollments. The UB decline in these enrollment is partially due to a reduction in the China MPA program to a single cohort. 10

  11. Full-time Graduate Enrollment, 5-year percent changeFall 2004 to Fall 2009 Change 121 Highlight: Note should be made of Towson and Salisbury which have led in 5-year growth for two consecutive years. UB, while showing more growth over last year report (vs. 5.8%), had ranked above 3 institutions, while this year ranking only above 2 institutions. : 11

  12. Part-time Graduate/First-Professional1-year percent change, Fall 2008 to Fall 2009 Highlight: UB continues to excel in the growth of part-time graduate students. UB’s 5th ranking this year, combined with its 4th ranking last year, gives it the 3rd highest overall ranking over the past two years. The Law School enrollments, being largely full-time, do not serve to moderate the effect as in the full-time graph. Some institutions, like Coppin State, with small graduate programs, may vary widely in percentage change, going from 1st rank last year to last ranked this year. 12

  13. Part-time Graduate Enrollment, 5-year percent changeFall 2004 to Fall 2009 Highlight: UB remains in the “middle of the pack,” largely unchanged from the prior year’s report. The bottom two institutions were also showing negative change in the prior year. 13

  14. First-time, Full-time Freshmen Enrollment Fall 2009 Market Share Highlight: UB’s market share of first-time, full-time freshmen increased from 1.2% to 1.4% of the Maryland 4-year public market. Program growth by a factor of 2.5 is required for UB’s first-time, full-time freshmen enrollment to reach the next highest rank—indicating considerable potential for future growth. 14

  15. First–time, Full-time Freshmen, 1-year percent change Fall 2008 to Fall 2009 Highlight: While UB ranks a close 3rd in growth of first-time, full-time freshmen, it showed 2 years of strong growth; the current leaders, UMUC and UMCP, both recorded significant losses in these enrollments in the prior year; so the current year shows more of recovery than growth. 15

  16. First-time, Full-time Freshmen Enrollment 5-year percent change, Fall 2004 to Fall 2009 Note: 1) University of Baltimore is omitted from this chart, freshmen enrollments were not offered until fall 2007. (2) Table 3 in the USM source document mistakenly shows 4-year growth rates, although labeled as 5-year growth rates. The data is shown corrected above. 16
