Educational Master Plan Review – 2014-15 http://www.deanza.edu/emp/EducationalMasterPlan2010-2015.pdf
Who We Are “Our challenge is this: How do we engage these incredibly diverse and talented students, meet their many and different needs, offer a curriculum of unparalleled breadth, organize the services they need, support their autonomous governance of a robust campus student life — and also have the time and energy and capacity to stop every once in a while to reflect on what we’re doing, challenge ourselves, interrogate the evidence, and change? And how do we do this while also managing budget cuts, staff reductions, program elimination, and the onslaught of legislative imperatives?” -President Murphy, Spring 2010

Planning Framework • Funding • The Economy and Labor Market • Enrollment and Demography
Funding – Current Situation • Government funding has decreased for community colleges across the country. • California’s community colleges have dropped to a 20-year low in the wake of unprecedented cuts in state funding by $1.5 billion since 2007-08. • In the past five years, statewide course offerings have declined by up to 21 percent for spring/fall courses and 60 percent for summer courses. • California ranks last among states in funding per college student from state appropriations and tuition and fees. • Unduplicated headcount at De Anza College has decreased 3% from fall 2010 to fall 2014. • - Hanover Research – Environmental Scan, March 2014
The Economy and Labor Market • Health care is the fastest-growing industry at the national level, and many of the most in-demand associate-degree level occupations are in the health care industry. • Occupations requiring AA degrees that project strong growth within Santa Clara County include registered nurses, nursing assistants, and paralegals. • However, the most commonly pursued associate’s degrees at De Anza are in liberal arts and related fields, followed by biological/physical sciences, social sciences, the humanities, then registered nursing. • - Hanover Research – Environmental Scan, March 2014
Enrollment and Demography • California K-12 enrollment is projected to decrease in the short term through 2014-15 followed by almost no change for two years, with moderate increases by 2021-22. • California high school enrollments and graduations are projected to hold steady or slightly decline over the next decade, with particularly low graduation rates for Latino students. • High school graduates to De Anza has increased from 9.4% to 11% from fall 2010 to fall 2013. • In addition, Latino graduates are being underserved in their transition to community colleges, both in Silicon Valley and across the state. • - Hanover Research – Enrollment Projections, August 2014
Enrollment and Demography • Community college enrollment in the United States is increasing, while enrollment in California and Silicon Valley is decreasing. • The population of California will increase by 10.6 million between 2010 and 2040, growing at an average rate of 0.65 percent per year. • Silicon Valley’s population will increase consistently over the next three decades, albeit at a somewhat slower pace (0.4 percent annually) than California and the U.S. as a whole. • - Hanover Research – Enrollment Projections, August 2014
Enrollment and Demography • California’s population has a similar male-to-female ratio in relation to the United States as a whole, with women slightly outnumbering men; this ratio will hold steady through 2040. • Within Silicon Valley, the male-to-female ratio will increase slightly for San Mateo County and decrease slightly for Santa Clara County. • Within De Anza College, the male-to-female ratio is about 50%. • - Hanover Research – Enrollment Projections, August 2014
Enrollment and Demography • Silicon Valley is predominantly Latino by a small margin, with this margin projected to increase by 2060. • Latino population growth will make up roughly two-thirds of total population growth in both California and Silicon Valley in the next fifty years. • The Latino population at De Anza College has increased from 12.5% in fall 2010 to 26.2% in fall 2014 (methodology changed in fall 2012 which moves Latino students from Multiple Ethnicities into Latino). • - Hanover Research – Enrollment Projections, August 2014
Enrollment and Demography • Total enrollment of Full Time Equivalent students at De Anza is estimated to increase by 556 (9.0%) from 6,212 in 2015 to 6,768 in 2025. • Enrollment headcount is estimated to increase by 2,131 (9.0%) from 23,795 in 2015 to 25,926 in 2025. • Central San Jose Core is estimated to have the highest enrollment FTE growth by 162 (9.5%) and Los Altos/Los Altos Hills Zone is estimated to have the lowest enrollment FTE growth among all included zones for 2015-2025 by 1 (3.6%). - Hanover Research – Enrollment Projections, August 2014
Enrollment and Demography • Central San Jose Core is estimated to have the highest enrollment headcount growth by 595 (9.6%) and Los Altos/Los Altos Hills Zone is estimated to have the lowest enrollment headcount growth among all included zones for 2015-2025 by 6 (3.9%). • Central San Jose Core, South San Jose Zone, and Santa Clara Zone are the top three zones that are estimated to have both the highest enrollment headcount and the highest enrollment FTE growth among all included zones for 2015-2025. • Currently, 16% of students reside within our district, 31% in the San Jose-Evergreen district, 27% in the West Valley-Mission district and 3% in the Foothill district. - Hanover Research – Enrollment Projections, August 2014
