Profile of the College

Gettysburg College is a four-year, nonsectarian, coeducational liberal arts college affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America and located in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. It is situated adjacent to one of the nation's most famous Civil War battlefields, the Gettysburg National Military Park. Its purpose, as stated in the charter, "is to serve the cause of liberal education in changing times, by providing a community of learning committed to the discovery, exploration, and evaluation of the ideas and actions of man, and to the creative extension of that developing heritage." It is governed by an independent Board of Trustees consisting of thirty-six members who are elected as provided in the Bylaws with the President of Gettysburg College serving as an ex officio trustee.

The College creates opportunities for students to learn specific intellectual skills and to strive for breadth of understanding. A rigorous program of undergraduate learning in the arts and sciences is complemented by student programs designed to challenge and enrich the academic experience. A close student-teacher ratio of approximately 9 to 1 and a campus-wide honor code system promote a positive atmosphere of trust. Historical Overview of the College

The original charter of "Pennsylvania College of Gettysburg" was an act passed by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and signed by Governor George Wolf on April 7, 1832. The chief founder of the College, the Rev. Samuel Simon Schmucker, prepared a document to convert the already existing Gettysburg Gymnasium into a college with the intention of advancing "the cause of liberal education, particularly among the German portion of our fellow citizens." That beginning established its continuing heritage as the oldest college affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The first academic year began on November 7, 1832 and the instructional program has continued without interruption to the present day.

Two years after its founding, with a student body of 98 students, the College shared a building on High Street with the Lutheran Seminary. Largely through the efforts of Thaddeus Stevens, the College received the first of six grants from the General Assembly to purchase land and construct a building. A tract of land west of North Washington Street of six acres and one perch was purchased. A building then known as the "College edifice," was designed by Philadelphia architect John Trautwine and was ready for limited use in the fall of 1837.

During the Battle of Gettysburg, the College "served as a Union signal station June 30, July 1, and July 4, 1863, and as a hospital for the care of both Union and Confederate wounded July 1 and for some weeks thereafter." Approximately one hundred years later, for a period during the 1960's, President Dwight David Eisenhower, following two terms as President of the United States, lived in Gettysburg and maintained an office on campus. He also served as a member of the Board of Trustees. These historical ties are maintained today through the Civil War Institute and the Eisenhower Institute with offices in the District of Columbia and Gettysburg College.

By 1937, five hundred students were enrolled on a campus that contained a dozen buildings. Today the student body numbers over 2,600. Except for a few years in the 1930's, there have been women students enrolled as degree candidates since 1889. At the present time the student body is composed of approximately equal numbers of men and women. The name was officially changed to Gettysburg College by an amendment to the charter on November 14, 1921. A restatement or major revision of the charter took place in 1974 and was approved by the Secretary of Education of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on April 1, 1974. Gettysburg College is a charter member of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and was first accredited in 1923. Among its distinguished alumni, Gettysburg College has had three Rhodes Scholars, Spurgeon M. Keeny (1914), Ordean Rockey (1916), and Luke P. Norris (2006); two recipients of the MacArthur Award, Mimi Koehl and Patrick Noonan; eleven recipients of NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship, with Luke Lawrence (2016) being the most recent; many Fulbright grant recipients, with Sarah Hayes (2014), Charles Strasbaugh (2014), Anoush Aghababian (2016), Kimberly Longfellow (2016), Jesse Siegel (2016), Micaela Edelson (2017), Sean Pethybridge (2017), Joseph Recupero (2017), Anthony Wagner (2017), Andeulazia Hughes-Murdock (2018), Jenny Giannini (2018), Brittany Bondi (2019), Aidan Egglin (2019), Nathan Kumar (2019), and Vanessa Martinez (2019) being the most recent; eleven Goldwater Scholars, Walter Kowtoniuk (2004), who also won the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship, Natasha Gownaris (2008), Julie Markus (2008), Brittany Jones (2012), Ron Malone (2013), Ryan Matzke (2014), Madison Strine (2017), Leah Gulyas (2018), Olivia Peduzzi (2019), Erin Schroeder (2019), and Claire Woodward (2019); and the winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1989, Michael Bishop.

CIP Code is a six-digit code in the form xx.xxxx that identifies instructional program specialties. It is the accepted federal government statistical standard on instructional program classifications and is used in a variety of education information surveys and databases. CIP was originally developed by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in 1980, with revisions occurring in 1985, 1990, 2000, and 2010. Reported in the table above is the two-digit level CIP Code.

Source: Office of the Registrar Faculty Work Load by Academic Organization; data cleaning and analysis conducted by Office of Institutional Analysis.

Note. 1 Aggregated by an instructor's home department, not by subject (e.g., a course titled CWES-346-A was taught by an Africana Studies faculty member, so this course was counted in the total for Africana Studies department.) Total number of instructors refers to the headcount of all full-time and part-time faculty members teaching that semester. If an instructor has zero enrollment in all courses, the instructor will not be included in the headcount of faculty members teaching that semester.2 The number of sections is based on instructor course load from the Faculty Work Load by Academic Organization Report. Lectures, seminars, and other classes (e.g., ACT, APL, ENS, and STU) are included. CNV, DIS, IND, and LAB with non-zero instructor course load are also included. If a class has zero enrollment, then it will not be included in the number of sections taught in that semester even if it has non-zero instructor course load.3 If a course requires additional lab/conversation/discussion/activity/studio section, the student enrolled is counted only once. In addition, based on the Faculty Work Load by Academic Organization Report, Integrative Experience course clusters are only counted in the number of students enrolled, but not included in instructor course load and faculty-student contact hours.4 The number of students enrolled in all classes divided by the total number of sections for each department in a given semester. The total number of sections used in the denominator includes lectures, seminars, and other classes (e.g., APL, ENS, IND, credit-bearing music STU, and non-music STU) with non-zero instructor course load, but excludes ACT, CNV, DIS, noncredit music STU and LAB with non-zero instructor course load.5 All faculty-student contact hours are included, as reported in the Faculty Work Load by Academic Organization Report, regardless of class type.*Included one administrator.

Note. 1 Aggregated by an instructor's home department, not by subject (e.g., a course titled CWES-346-A was taught by an Africana Studies faculty member, so this course was counted in the total for Africana Studies department.) Total number of instructors refers to the headcount of all full-time and part-time faculty members teaching that semester. If an instructor has zero enrollment in all courses, the instructor will not be included in the headcount of faculty members teaching that semester.2 The number of sections is based on instructor course load from the Faculty Work Load by Academic Organization Report. Lectures, seminars, and other classes (e.g., ACT, APL, ENS, and STU) are included. CNV, DIS, IND, and LAB with non-zero instructor course load are also included. If a class has zero enrollment, then it will not be included in the number of sections taught in that semester even if it has non-zero instructor course load.3 If a course requires additional lab/conversation/discussion/activity/studio section, the student enrolled is counted only once. In addition, based on the Faculty Work Load by Academic Organization Report, Integrative Experience course clusters are only counted in the number of students enrolled, but not included in instructor course load and faculty-student contact hours.4 The number of students enrolled in all classes divided by the total number of sections for each department in a given semester. The total number of sections used in the denominator includes lectures, seminars, and other classes (e.g., APL, ENS, IND, credit-bearing music STU, and non-music STU) with non-zero instructor course load, but excludes ACT, CNV, DIS, noncredit music STU and LAB with non-zero instructor course load.5 All faculty-student contact hours are included, as reported in the Faculty Work Load by Academic Organization Report, regardless of class type.*Included one administrator.

Note. The total number of full-time faculty did not include those who were temporary replacements for faculty members on leave. International faculty are defined as faculty members who are neither US citizens nor US permanent residents/green card holders. An international faculty member may become a US permanent resident/green card holder during the course of a year; in that case, he/she will no longer be counted as International, thus often leading to a decrease of International number in the subsequent year.Source: Office of Institutional Analysis (based on faculty race/ethnicity information provided by the Office of the Provost)

Note. Only full-time, degree-seeking students were included in the counts of students above. Every year, there was a very small percentage of (domestic) students who did not report their race or ethnicity; had their race/ethnicity been identified, the proportions displayed above might have changed very slightly (Based on anecdotal evidence, almost all of these “Unknown” individuals would be "White"). Throughout the Fact Book, people of color included multi-racial. The total number of full-time faculty did not include those who were temporary replacements for faculty members on leave. An international faculty member may become a US permanent resident/green card holder during the course of a year; in that case, he/she will no longer be counted as International, thus often leading to a decrease of International number in the subsequent year.

Race/Ethnicity of the Student Body Fall 2016 Fall 2017 Fall 2018

Note. Fall enrollment includes both on- and off-campus students. In recent years, Race/Ethnicity data for domestic students were collected using a 2-question format required by the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).The first question asks about ethnicity (is the individual Hispanic or Latino, yes or no) and the second question asks about race (the individual is asked to select one or more race categories with which he or she identifies: American Indian or Alaska Native; Asian; Black or African American; Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander; White); individuals who answer Yes to the first question are reported as Hispanic/Latino (regardless of race); those who do not answer either question are reported as "Race and Ethnicity Unknown". Non-Resident Alien (IPEDS language)/International Students are reported as a separate group.

*Asian or Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (PI). **This category refers to students who answered "no" to the first question (see above; i.e., not Hispanic) and who selected more than one race. The great majority of students who selected more than one race selected two or more minority races. The percentages displayed above for a specific racial group (e.g., Asian) did not include those who selected that particular race and another race; for example, in Fall 2019, 102 (3.9%) of full-time, degree-seeking students self-identified as Black or African American (and did not select another race); additionally, a number of students selected both Black or African American and another race; if combining these two groups, then the percentage would be higher than what is displayed above.

Note. Outcomes displayed above reflect placement results within a year after graduation. Starting from the 2012 graduating class, three methods were used to collect one-year-out graduates’ career outcomes data: One-Year-Out Alumni Survey, LinkedIn search, and HEDS Graduating Senior Survey. For the 2018 graduating class, another method was also used: Commencement Prep Day Survey (late April 2018). Data were collected at two points of time: near graduation (April to early May), and then about 10-11 months after graduation. The annual final report is usually available in late June or early July from the Office of Institutional Analysis. Although the annual report was compiled approximately one year after graduation, many students accepted a job offer upon graduation, and the overwhelming majority of those employed found employment within 6 months after graduation; those attending graduate school mostly started their graduate program in the fall following graduation.

**Some graduates were both employed and attending graduate school; they were counted only once and outcomes were categorized based on their primary activity.

Alumni Who Received Research Doctorates: Distribution by Broad Field (1966-2017)

Note. Since 1966, the National Science Foundation has been providing data collected through the Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED), which is an annual census of all new recipients of research doctorates at U.S. doctorate-granting colleges and universities. Only recipients of research doctorates (in all disciplines, including engineering) are included (the most common research doctorate degree is the PhD; Ed.D is also included); recipients of professional degrees (e.g., MD, DDS, DVM, JD, DPharm, DMin, and PsyD) are NOT included. The table above presents the total number of Gettysburg graduates who earned research doctorates during a given period or an academic year (AY) (e.g., 2017 refers to AY 2016-17, from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017).

Starting from the 2017 data, the NSF used a new data system in which the original grouping based on academic discipline (used in previous versions of our Fact Book) is no longer available; instead, academic disciplines have been recoded into 8 broad fields and 38 detailed fields. The Table above presents the total number of Gettysburg graduates who earned research doctorates in the 8 broad fields during given periods.
