2007-2008 Compendium Data Organized by Section

1. Students receiving degrees broken down by major college and program, 2000-01 to 2006-07

These tables show the number of students receiving degrees awarded in each year. For example, the 2000-01 column includes students graduating in summer 2000, fall 2000, winter 2001, and spring 2001. Students earning multiple degrees in one year are counted according to the number of degrees earned. This is in accordance with new Ohio Board of Regents (OBOR) Higher Education Information (HEI) reporting guidelines. Students with multiple majors within the same degree are counted in only one program.

2. Fall quarter student FTE and headcount broken down by major college and program, fall 2001 to fall 2007

These tables show the number of student headcount and FTE (credit hours taken by students divided by 15) in each fall quarter. The breakdowns are according to the students' major. Honors Tutorial majors are included with the "home" major category.

3. Fall credit hours taught broken down by college and department/school, fall 2001 to fall 2007, Athens Campus

These tables show the number of credit hours taught in each fall quarter. The breakdowns are according to the department/school and college providing the instruction.

4. Fall credit hours taught broken down by college and department/school, fall 2001 to fall 2007 by type of instructor, Athens Campus

These tables show the number of credit hours taught in each fall quarter. The breakdowns are according to the department/school and college providing the instruction. A separate table is provided for each of the following types of instructors of record:

5. First-year student retention rates broken down by major college and program 2000 to 2001 through 2006 to 2007

These tables show the percent of students entering the Athens campus in each fall quarter as degree-seeking first-year students who return as second-year students. Students are counted in each major according to the last major in which they enrolled because of the possibility that students can change majors after first enrolling. For example, a student entering as a first-year student in the fall with a major in psychology and returning the second fall with a major in psychology is counted in psychology in the cohort and as a returning student. A student entering as a first-year student in psychology in the fall who changed his/her major to English and returned the second fall with a major in English is counted in English in the cohort and as a returning student. A student entering as a first-year student in psychology in the fall who changed his/her major to English in the winter, and does not return before the second fall is counted in English in the cohort and as a non-returning student.

6. Cumulative graduation rates broken down by major college and program, 1995 to 2001 first-year cohorts

These tables show 4-, 5-, and 6-year graduation rates for first-year students entering the Athens campus in each of the fall quarters from 1995 to 2001 as degree-seeking first-year students. As with retention rates, students are counted in each major according to the last major in which they enrolled (or graduated) because of the possibility that students can change majors many times over the course of 4, 5, or 6 years. Average time to graduate is calculated from the data given, assuming a minimum of 4 years and a maximum of 6 years.

Go to: Graduation Rates page.

7. Admissions statistics broken down by major college and program, fall 2001 to fall 2007

These tables show the numbers of students who applied for admission, were admitted, and enrolled each fall quarter as new first-year undergraduates and new graduate students. The breakdowns are according to the students' declared major throughout the admissions process.

Undergraduates

8. New First-Year (Freshman) Student Profiles, fall 2001 to fall 2007

These tables show characteristics of entering first-year undergraduate students over seven years. Separate tables are available for each academic college, for African-American students, Hispanic students, and for the entire class.

Go to: First-Year Student Profiles page (Restricted).

9. Number of Group I faculty, 2001-2002 to 2007-2008

These tables show the headcount numbers of full-time Group I faculty, broken down by campus, college and department/school. Tenured and tenure-track faculty are included.

10. Group I Faculty Average Salary, 2001-2002 to 2007-2008

These tables show the average salaries for full-time Group I faculty. These data come from the annual AAUP faculty salary study.

11. Budgeted FTE broken down by college and department/school, 2001-02 to 2007-08

The budgeted full-time equivalent (FTE) staffing summary information comes from units' budget forms. Department chairs and school directors are included as faculty. Full-time graduate assistants are counted as .33 FTE. Each college's table includes a miscellaneous departmental category labeled "dean's office." Data within each college that cannot be directly attributed to a specific academic unit is included in these sections. Budgeted faculty and graduate assistants in each college who serve many departments may be included in these sections.

Administrative staff are separated into three categories to better portray their functions in the university. The three categories are academic administrators, administrative staff, and professional/technical staff. The total number of administrators is the total FTE of these categories. They are based on OBOR academic-nonacademic job classifications. Academic administrators include deans, advisors, and other academic administrators. Administrative staff include nonacademic administrators, executives, directors, and supervisors, accountants, and financial staff. Professional/technical staff include laboratory staff, librarians, technicians, and other staff requiring specialized skills.

12. Student/Faculty Ratios broken down by department/school and college, fall 2001 to fall 2007

These tables show the ratios between student FTE (credit hours taught by departments/schools divided by 15) to numbers of faculty and G.A.'s in those departments/schools.

Student/Faculty Ratios

13. Regents Model Budgeted FTE and Difference from Model, 2000-01 to 2006-07 (Capacity)

These tables show the department's/school's student/faculty ratios compared to the "Regents Model." This model weights student/faculty ratios according to 13 different Regents subsidy levels (General Studies 1, 2, 3; Technical 1, 3; Baccalaureate 1, 2, 3; Master's 1, 2, 3; Doctoral 1, 2) through weighted student credit hours (WSCH). For each subsidy level, the weighting factor was found by taking the statewide number of students taught per faculty at public universities.

For example, the student to faculty ratio at the General Studies I model is 36 full-time students to 1 faculty. Because a full-time-equivalent (FTE) student is defined as one who takes 15 credit hours, this student to faculty ratio converts to a credit hour to faculty ratio of 540 credit hours to 1 faculty FTE (1620 per academic year). Credit hours taught at the other subsidy levels are weighted according to the statewide student/faculty ratios for each level.

These summary tables compare each college’s/department’s budgeted faculty FTE with a "Regents Model Expected faculty FTE." The expected faculty FTE was found by dividing each unit’s WSCH by 1620. A percent change value was then calculated between the unit's expected faculty FTE and its actual budgeted faculty FTE. Percentages that are negative represent actual faculty FTE below the expected faculty (i.e., over capacity). Percentages that are positive represent actual faculty FTE above the expected faculty (i.e., under capacity). Note that the university-wide comparison table does not include University College or International Studies. Two separate sets of tables show the following:

Annual WSCH (All academic year quarters are included; summer is excluded)

Annual WSCH on Athens Campus taught by Group I Faculty Only (All academic year quarters are included; summer is excluded)

Student/Faculty Ratios Compared to Regents Model, Faculty and Faculty + GA Combined

14. Departmental Expenditures, 2002-03 to 2003-04

Beginning in 2002-03, Ohio University participated in The National Study of Instructional Costs and Productivity (The Delaware Study). This study allows universities to analyze instructional costs and productivity at the academic discipline (department/school) level. Cost data for Ohio University's departments/schools are available in the following categories:

   - direct instructional expenditures -- salaries, benefits, and other

   - direct expenditures for separately budgeted research

   - direct expenditures for separately budgeted public service

These data as submitted to Delaware, are available at:

http://www.ohiou.edu/instres/dept/delaware/

15. Departmental Expenditures, 1995-96 to 2001-02

These tables show actual departmental expenditures, excluding summer session, for the seven most recently completed fiscal years prior to the university's participation in the Delaware Study. Expenditure data comes from the Vice President for Finance and Treasurer's annual Budget Variance Statement. For academic units, expenditures are the final year-end actual expenditures for fall, winter, and spring quarters in each year presented. Summer instructional budgets are not included. General operating expenditures and expenditures from restricted accounts are presented separately. The cost/WSCH is found by dividing the unit's total general operating expenditures by the unit's annual (fall, winter, spring) WSCH. College dean's office expenditures and interdisciplinary WSCH are included in the college totals.

16. Graduate Student Fee Waivers and Stipends, 2002-03 to 2007-08

These tables show numbers and levels of graduate student support. The fee waiver table shows numbers of fall quarter graduate students broken down by type of fee waiver -- full waiver, partial waiver, and no waiver (full fees paid) -- and student level (masters or doctoral) for those students whose fees are assessed through SIS. For each unit the average percent of fees waived for all students is shown. A dynamic pivot table is available that enables additional variables to be displayed as needed: hours enrolled, residency, SIS program, and waiver type.

The stipend table shows the number of students and the average stipend for each unit, broken down by student level (masters or doctoral). A dynamic pivot table is available that enables additional variables to be displayed as needed: hours enrolled, residency, major code, funding department, and type of fund.

Doctoral

17. Partnerships

These tables show five ways in which students participate in joint ventures between and among the academic colleges. One table shows that the colleges offer courses through Lifelong Learning in addition to Athens on-campus courses. These courses may be taught through three different locations: on-campus; off-campus; and off-campus-Hong Kong. The table shows the total credit hours taught by each college at each location, with a grand total. Another table shows the headcount enrollment of Honors Tutorial students within each participating college and major. One table shows headcount enrollment of interdisciplinary majors. One table shows headcount enrollment of students in selected majors in the colleges of Communication and Fine Arts who can choose a degree option in Arts and Sciences. One table shows that students may choose a second major in their primary major college or in another college. (It is important to note that the numbers of second majors may be slightly inflated because of the way they are coded in SIS.) Finally, one table shows the headcount enrollment of students in International Studies majors.

General notes on tables on student majors:

Each college's table includes a miscellaneous category of student majors labeled "interdisciplinary." This is the designation for majors not attributable to individual or programs. "Undecided" majors in each college are included in this category. For example, in Arts and Sciences this would include "undecided Arts and Sciences" majors and "master's of social science" degree recipients. Individualized interdisciplinary program (IIP) majors are included in this category.

General notes on tables on credit hours taught:

Each college's table includes a miscellaneous departmental category labeled "interdisciplinary." Data within each college that cannot be directly associated with a specific academic unit is presented in these sections. These sections contain information on interdisciplinary or other programs. For example, the College of Engineering and Technology teaches interdisciplinary "Engineering Technology" courses budgeted from the Dean's Office.
