External trends
Initiatives under way

• Include the following
• To enhance enrollment and student profile
• Enrollment Road Map
• Inclusive Excellence Road Map
• Honors College
• New Landscape for Learning initiative
• To enhance retention
• First Year Experience
• Provisional admits to Summit College
• To enhance student success
• Honors College
• Learning communities and similar programs

Number of high school graduates will crest in
2009 and decline slowly over the next six
years. The economy can affect students, donors
and research sponsors. Adult students (age 25 and
older) are turning to higher education in greater
numbers.

About Our Projections

1. The recommendations and projections that follow
   are based on historic trends, current realities
   and initiatives under way at UA.
2. Future changes to the University System of Ohio
   are likely to alter our projections.
3. State policy decisions about tuition will change
   the landscape for Ohio and UA.
4. Some of the measurements are contradictory and
   interactive success in one could hinder progress
   in others.
5. Our projections represent stretch goals, but they
   are not unreasonable.

Projections
ACCESS Total postsecondary enrollment
12
Rationale for Projection
ACCESS Total postsecondary enrollment

• From 2006 to today, UA has experienced annual
  increases in enrollment of 5
• Enrollment Managements three-year enrollment
  projection model includes
• Growth in new freshmen and new transfer students
  based on internal and external trends
• Increases in graduate student enrollment
• Further improvement in student retention
• Spring and summer enrollment changes
• Graduation patterns
• UAs projection
• We believe we can achieve or possibly even exceed
  the USO goal.

13
Projections
ACCESS Total associate degrees awarded
14
Rationale for Projection
ACCESS Associate degrees awarded

• FACTS
• Enrollment for two-year programs
• Summit College up 8 from 2003 to 2008
• Wayne College steady at about 750 per year
• First year retention rates for students in
  two-year programs has steadily increased from 50
  for the 2000 cohort to 61 for the 2007 cohort of
  students enrolled in 2-year programs.
• It is unknown what the impact will be of a
  possible state-wide tuition cap on associate
  degree programs. We could anticipate increased
  enrollment from Summit County residents that
  might otherwise attend Tri-C or Stark State.
• RATIONALE
• We expect to increase the number of associate
  degrees awarded during the USO projection time
  period and contribute to the states desired
  increase however, it is unlikely we can meet the
  USO goal of a 32.5 increase.

15
Projections
ACCESS Total bachelors degrees awarded
16
Rationale for Projection
ACCESS Bachelor degrees awarded

• FACTS
• Total enrollment of bachelors degree-seeking
  students has increased 8 from 2002 to 2008
  (16,959 to 18,295) while the increase in new
  bachelors degree-seeking students has increased
  33 over the same time period (2,882 to 3,826).
• First-year retention rates for bachelors
  degree-seeking students are also increasing
  (65.5 in 2003 to 68.8 for the 2007 cohort).
• RATIONALE
• We anticipate a continued decline in the number
  of bachelors degrees awarded to traditional-age
  students over the next several years, compared to
  previous years as a result of the steady decline
  in undergraduate enrollment during the late 90s
  and early 2000s.
• In summary, we expect to increase the number of
  bachelors degrees awarded during the USO
  projection time period and contribute to the
  states desired increase.

17
Projections
ACCESS Total graduate and law degrees awarded
18
Rationale for Projection
ACCESS Graduate and law degrees awarded

• FACTS
• The number of graduate degrees awarded from
  2006-07 to 07-08 increased 12.5.
• Graduate enrollment increased 5 from 2006 to
  2007 and 9 from 2007 to 2008. We anticipate that
  graduate enrollment will increase, particularly
  in STEMM areas in the coming years, although
  perhaps not at the same rate as the past two
  years.
• RATIONALE
• The ratio of graduate enrollment to the number of
  degrees awarded has remained fairly constant,
  which is why we are not projecting a significant
  increase in the actual numbers of graduate
  degrees awarded during the projection time
  period.
• We expect to increase the number of graduate
  degrees awarded above the baseline during the USO
  projection time period.

19
Projection
STEMM degrees offered at UA (2006-07) (STEMM
Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and
Medicine)

• Engineering (224 degrees)
• Biomedical Engineering
• Chemical Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Computer Engineering
• Electrical Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Engineering - Applied Math
• Polymer Science (33)
• Polymer Engineering
• Polymer Science
• Summit College (278)
• Engineering Technology programs
• Computer Tech programs
• Allied Health programs

• Master of Public Health

The state has defined what programs qualify as
STEMM.
20
Projection
ACCESS Total STEMM degrees awarded (STEMM
Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and
Medicine)
21
Rationale for Projection
ACCESS Total STEMM degrees awarded (STEMM
Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and
Medicine)

• FACTS
• UA enrollment in STEMM programs, 2004-08
• Overall increase of 21 (6,305 to 7,620)
• Undergraduate increase of nearly 25 (5,319 to
  6,628)
• Both retention rates and graduation rates are
  higher for students in STEMM programs
• First-year retention rates for bachelors
  degree-seeking students is about 68, compared to
  74 for STEMM bachelors degree-seeking students.
• The six-year graduation rate for bachelors
  degree-seeking students is approximately 35
  compared to 40 for STEMM students.
•  
• RATIONALE
• Based on student demographics and trends, we
  cannot meet the USO goal however, we believe we
  can increase the number of total STEMM degrees by
  32 over the projected time period.

22
Projections
ACCESS Enrollees age 25 and older
23
Rationale for Projections
ACCESS Enrollees age 25 and older

• FACTS
• From 2004 to 2008, UA experienced an 8.4 decline
  in the number of enrollees age 25 or older.
• In fall 2008, we experienced a 12.6 increase in
  new undergraduate adult students first increase
  in seven years.
•  
• RATIONALE
• Beginning fall 2009, we expect to have a plan in
  place to optimize the schedule of classes that
  will allow for more evening- and
  weekend-enrollment opportunities.
• We will expand off-site programs, enhance
  services to veterans and open a new
  degree-completion program to serve adult
  students.
• These changes, plus expanded adult-recruitment
  efforts and national trends will allow UA to
  further increase the number of adult students
  that it serves, yet it is unlikely that we will
  be able to increase adult enrollment by 63
  percent to meet the USO goal.

24
Projections
ACCESS Undergraduate degrees to first-generation
students
25
Rationale for Projections
ACCESS Undergraduate degrees to first-generation
students

• FACTS
• We are estimating the number of degrees awarded
  to first-generation college students based on the
  estimated projection of associate degrees and
  bachelors degrees awarded
• In addition, the Early College High School is
  specifically designed for first-generation
  students, along with other high school outreach
  and pre-college programs.

26
Projections
ACCESS Percent of total degrees awarded to Black
and Hispanic students
27
Rationale for Projections
ACCESS Percent of total degrees awarded to Black
and Hispanic students

• FACTS
• At UA, the percentage of degrees awarded to Black
  and Hispanic students has declined over last five
  years.
• Percentage of minority students at UA has
  declined from 14.2 in 2001 down to 12.6 in
  2008.
• In response, UA is developing an Inclusive
  Excellence road map that includes initiatives to
  increase the enrollment, retention and graduation
  of minority students.
•  
• RATIONALE
• Students expected to graduate within the next six
  years are, for the most part, already enrolled at
  UA.
• Based on the current student demographics and
  past trends, we are likely to fall short of the
  USO goal however, we believe that we can
  maintain our present rate of 9 and increase that
  rate in outer years.

• FACTS AND RATIONALE
• Historically, UA graduation rate is about 35
  percent, on par with urban-serving universities
  nationwide.
• With the USO measurement, we receive credit for
  students who start at UA but finish at another
  Ohio public, thus the 37 rate for 2008
• Because we are showing improved retention rates
  within several student classifications, we
  believe our graduation rate will increase in
  outer years.

31
Rationale for Projections
QUALITY Number of first-time enrollees in the
top 20 SAT/ACT

• FACTS
• The number of first-time enrollees in the top 20
  SAT/ACT has grown 92 from 2002 to 2008
• This number will continue to increase based on
  the following factors
• Growth in the number of new first-time students
• Strength of Honors College
• Recruitment efforts
• Focus on STEMM program growth
• Reallocation of current scholarship resources
• Additional scholarship resources would accelerate
  our increase -- a rate that is reflected by the
  UA historical-line projection
• RATIONALE
• We expect to increase the number of students in
  the 20 ACT and exceed the USO projection by
  2013-14, thus contributing to the states desired
  increase.

32
Projections
QUALITY Percent of facilities in satisfactory

• Satisfactory Suitable for continued use with
  normal maintenance.
• Minor Rehabilitation Needs minor physical
  rehabilitation or repair. The approximate cost of
  physical rehabilitation is less than 25 percent
  of the replacement value of the structure.
• Rehabilitation Rehabilitation would cost 25
  percent to 50 percent of the replacement value.
• Major Rehabilitation Cost of rehabilitation is
  50 percent or more of the replacement value.
• Physically Obsolete Physically inadequate and
  not feasible to renovate. The structure should be
  evaluated for demolition.

Evaluation includes building systems (HVAC,
electrical, plumbing, etc.) as well as safety
issues and federal regulations (ADA, OSHA, etc.).

DOLLAR AMOUNT IN THOUSANDS
35
Rationale for Projections
QUALITY Total size of endowment and foundations
per FTE (annual)

• FACTS AND RATIONALE
• In the past year, endowment dollars per FTE
  decreased due to
• investment performance and
• student credit hour increases that outpaced
  record fund-raising, and
• modest endowment growth.
• We predict a second year of reduction in
  endowment value per FTE because of
• the effect of the economic downturn on the market
  value of endowments, and
• the continued success in recruitment and
  retention.
• Our projections reflect an intent to continue
  growing both external funding and FTE enrollment
  aggressively, while acknowledging that market
  returns have been weak in recent history and are
  increasingly unpredictable.
• With all three factors (a leveling off of
  enrollment growth, continued record growth in
  fund raising and a return to strong investment
  yields in 2009), we believe we can meet or exceed
  statewide percentage increase set by USO for 2014.

• FACTS
• UA was the first state university to partner with
  Lorain County Community College in the late 1990s
  to establish LCCCs University Partnership
  Program where UA delivers bachelors degrees to
  LCCC campus. Three UA colleges deliver bachelors
  degrees onto LCCC campus.
• In 2002, UA began delivering bachelors degrees
  to other community college campuses throughout
  the state. UA also delivers courses into regional
  high schools.
• UA has arranged for community colleges and
  four-year degree-granting colleges to deliver
  academic programs at UAs Wayne campus and at the
  Medina County University Center.
• Innovation Alliance and Midpoint campus support

  2003-04 to 2007-08.
• About 80 percent of engineering students
  participate in a co-op experience as part of
  their undergraduate curriculum, and the number of
  undergraduate engineering students has also
  increased 30 during the last five years.
• Based on a 2008 survey, all of UAs colleges have
  internship, co-op or similar clinical
  experiences, with 84 of UA students
  participating. Many of UAs colleges utilize
  co-ops as a capstone course.
• UA awarded largest Choose Ohio First grant in

• FACTS
• This is primarily a state level measure that we
  can help influence through the number of PSEO
  high school students we enroll.
• The number of dual-enrollment students (including
  PSEO/Senior-to-Sophomore students) enrolled at UA
  for fall 2008 is 503 students up 52 from fall
  2004.
• 53 percent of our PSEO students re-enroll at UA
  after graduating from high school. 24 percent of
  our PSEO students enroll at another Ohio public
  university.
• UAs Early College High School, a partnership
  with Akron Public Schools, will have 300 students
  by fall 2009. The first two cohorts are on a
  track to graduate with high school degrees and 30
  to 60 hours of college credit.
