  3. Undergraduate Beginner Enrollment 2004-2012

  4. New Undergraduate Students

  5. Total number of beginners in Fall 2013: 7,604 (down very slightly from 7,613 compared to 2012) The number of beginners in Fall 2013 entering with sophomore status (26 cr. or more) is 604 this year, up 50% from 2012 (with 402 sophomores) and up 260% from Fall 2009 (with 168 sophomores) GenEd by the numbers STUDENTS

  7. Of the top 25 courses this year, 14 are GenEd courses, compared to 17 of the top 25 courses last year and 14/25 the previous year GenEd courses are highly enrolled but seats are still available Course Enrollment

  8. Courses taken that counted toward the requirement • ENG-W1317,715 • MATH-M1187,475 • PSY-P1016,160 • MATH-M1193,917 • ECON-E2013,642 • Courses taken that in excess of the requirement (NOTE: excludes W grades): • MATH-M118 587 • MATH-M119 523 • ECON-E201356 Top 5GenEd Courses Taken by Fall 2011-2013 Cohorts

  9. By the end of first week of classes for fall 2013, approximately 30% (2,432 students) of the Fall 2011 New Students Cohort have completed allGenEd Common Ground requirements, compared to 6% for the Fall 2012 cohort GenEd by the numbers PROGRESSION: All students

  10. The GenEd Foundations Requirements have been fulfilled by nearly 90% of the Fall 2011 Cohort and 70% of the Fall 2012 Cohort The GenEd World Languages and Cultures is the area with the second highest completion rate (60% of Fall 2011 Cohort and 35% of Fall 2012 Cohorts) Breadth of Inquiry is third (58% of Fall 2011 Cohort and 19% of Fall 2012 Cohort) GenEd by the numbers PROGRESSION: All students

  11. More than 40% of Fall 2011 and 17% of Fall 2012 transfer cohorts have completed all GenEd Common Ground requirements Foundations requirementshave been completed by 80% of Fall 2011 transfers still enrolled and by 65% of Fall 2012 Breadth of Inquiry have been completed by 76% of Fall 2011 transfers and by 55% of Fall 2012 transfers English Composition has been completed by more than 98% of Fall 2011 and more than 95% of Fall 2012 transfers currently enrolled GenEd by the numbers PROGRESSION: Transfer students

  12. 14,435 articulations of AP credit applicable to GenEdrequirements have been logged so far for Fall cohorts from 2011 to 2013 Social and Historical Studies is the area with the greatest number of articulations (4,879) followed by Natural and Mathematical Sciences (4,617) and Math Modeling (1,676) Courses with highest AP articulation: MATH-M211(2,433), ENG-W131 (1,882), HIST-H105 (1,713), PSY-P101 (1,659), POLS-Y103 (978) GenEd by the numbers: Advanced Placement Credit

  13. Students in the Fall 2011 through Fall 2013 cohorts have arrived at IUB with credit for 4,754 ACP courses from IU Bloomington and 796 ACP courses from IU regional campuses English Composition is the area with most ACP from Bloomington followed by Natural and Mathematical Sciences. For regional ACP credit Social and Historical Studies and English are the areas with the most credit Overall, courses with highest ACP articulation (IUB and IU Regional): ENG-W131(2,112), MATH-M118 (531), MATH-M211 (345), HIST-H105 (328), HIST-H106 (302) GenEd by the numbers: ACP (IU Dual) Credit

  14. Transfer coursework for Fall 2013 beginning students will be available in Spring 2014 For ICT students, IUB GenEd requirements are being fulfilled mostly by credits from enrollments at IU regional campuses GenEd by the numbers: transfer credit

  15. Fall Cohorts logged a total of about 2,648 summer IUB enrollment courses applicable toward a GenEd requirement IU Regional summer courses amounted to about 2,335 Areas with greatest summer enrollments are Natural and Mathematical Sciences (731 IUB) and Social and Historical Studies (691 IUB) Summer Enrollment Counting for GenEd

  16. Writing clearly and effectively: More than 40% of first year students and seniors choose ‘quite a bit.’ ‘Very little’ is the least selected option Analyzing quantitative problems: Majority of students choose ‘very much’ or ‘quite a bit’ ‘Very much’ responses increase significantly through time for both Seniors and first year students. National Survey of Student EngagementBenchmark for GenEd Monitoring (2005-2012)

  17. Thinking critically and analytically: The majority of first year students and seniors answered ‘very much’ or ‘quite a bit’ First year students: Significant decrease in ‘very little’, significant increase in ‘very much’ responses through time Seniors: Significant increase of ‘very much’ responders National Survey of Student EngagementA benchmark for GenEd Monitoring (2005-2012)

  18. Students progress in GenEd by fulfilling Foundations first Enrollments at IU Bloomington represent the largest (today) source of credits towards the requirements Student surveys (i.e. NSSE) show positive trends in areas of importance to GenEd. However, direct causality with GenEd cannot be assumed (pre-post GenEd analysis show differences that do not have practical significance) Key Points

  19. The number of beginner students has decreased slightly from last year by 11 students The share of students who enter as second semester freshmen (credit hours >13) has increased from 14% to 16%, this year The share of students who enter as sophomores has increased from 5% last year to 8% this year More information about the type of credit students bring to campus will be available in Spring 2014, given the new methodology for monitoring GenEd completion Key Points

  20. Timeline for GenEd Monitoring

  21. iRubric Support

  22. Each state educational institution, in collaboration with the commission for higher education, shall: (1) not later than December 1, 2012, create and report to the commission for higher education a statewide transfer general education core, to be implemented not later than May 15, 2013. The core must be based upon a set of core competencies, translated into at least thirty (30) semester credit hours in areas agreed upon by the state educational institutions, which apply for credit toward undergraduate degrees, including associate degrees and baccalaureate degrees at all campuses of state educational institutions. Statewide Transferable GenEd Core (STGEC)SEA 182 - 2012

  23. (2) jointly establish statewide standards for use by all state educational institutions to document an individual's completion of the statewide transfer general education core on the individual's transcripts SEA 182 - 2012

  24. 5(a) After May 15, 2013, an individual who has satisfactorily completed the statewide transfer general education core at a state educational institution, as indicated on the individual's official transcript, may not be required to complete additional courses in the statewide transfer general education core at the state educational institution to which the individual transfers, regardless of whether the individual has received an associate degree or the delivery method of the statewide transfer general education core the individual completed. SEA 182 - 2012

  25. (b) If an individual does not complete the statewide transfer general education core of a state educational institution before transferring to another state educational institution, the individual must complete the statewide transfer general education core required by the state educational institution to which the individual has transferred. The state educational institution to which the individual has transferred shall award credit to the individual for courses the individual has satisfactorily completed, based on the course to course equivalencies of the core transfer library established under IC 21-42-5. SEA 182 - 2012

  26. (c) An individual who holds an associate of arts or associate of science degree approved by the commission who is admitted to a four (4) year state educational institution is considered to have met at least thirty (30) semester credit hours of the state educational institution's general education requirement. SEA 182 - 2012

  27. GenEd Completed

  28. Foundations Completed

  29. Breadth of Inquiry Completed

  30. Composition Completed

  31. Math Modeling Completed

  32. The number of beginner students with significant portions of GenEd completed will increase. - AP - ACP Dual credit is not solely IUB’s domain - Rising offerings from regionals - IVY Tech Directional Guidance

  33. IVY Tech is in the process of offering a 30 credit General Education Certificate for HS students – free - STGEC mandates 100% transfer - STGEC mandates waiving GenEd Even if IU competes aggressively over this space the credits from IUB will be gone Rising influence of Online will also cut into IUB GenEd Directional Guidance

  34. Imagine a point in time when: Threats

  35. Imagine a point in time when: we see a substantial increase in the number of beginner students with significant portions of GenEd completed prior to IUB matriculation. Threats

  36. Imagine a point in time when: we see a substantial increase in the number of beginner students with significant portions of GenEd completed prior to IUB matriculation. online coursework is used increasingly to satisfy IUB GenEd requirements. Threats

  37. Imagine a point in time when: we see a substantial increase in the number of beginner students with significant portions of GenEd completed prior to IUB matriculation. online coursework is used increasingly to satisfy IUB GenEd requirements. students who do enroll in foundations courses (composition and math modeling) take them for remediation. Threats

  38. Imagine a point in time when: we see a substantial increase in the number of beginner students with significant portions of GenEd completed prior to IUB matriculation. online coursework is used increasingly to satisfy IUB GenEd requirements. students who do enroll in foundations courses (composition and math modeling) take them for remediation. exploration will be discouraged (Degree Map Legislation). Threats

  39. Imagine a point in time when: There are many opportunities, but that is for a deeper dialogue among the faculty Opportunities
