Enrollment

This section includes current enrollment and enrollment trend. Current enrollment shows

UNCSA fall 2016 college headcount enrollment and FTE by school, level, and residency (Table 1

and Figure 1). It also includes the headcount enrollment by level, residency, gender, and full-

time or part-time status of the college students at UNCSA (Table 2). The in-state headcount

enrollment by county and out-of-state enrollment by state and region are shown in Tables 3a-b

and Figure 3. Table 4 shows current headcount enrollment by school, level, gender and

residency. The racial composition of college enrollment is shown in Table 5 and Figure 5.

Enrollment trend data include college headcount enrollment by field of study for the past ten

years, fall 2007 through fall 2016 (Table 6 and Figure 6). The Integrated Postsecondary

Education Data System (IPEDS) reclassified the race/ethnicity categories in 2009. Thus, the

trend data on racial composition of UNCSA college enrollment started from fall 2009 (Table 7

and Figure 7). Table 8 shows the historical headcount enrollment from fall 1966 to fall 2016.

Retention and Graduation The retention and graduation measures are set by the US Department of Education and are collected by

Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). These measures focus on the first-time full-

time (FTFT) freshmen entering an institution in fall semesters. Table 9 shows the retention and

graduation rates of FTFT freshmen at UNCSA.

More than 3,600 U.S. colleges and universities participate in National Student Clearinghouse (NSC).

UNCSA is one of them. Thus, we are now able to track students who initially started at UNCSA, but

transferred to and graduated from other institutions nationwide through NSC. Data in Table 10 show

that our FTFT freshmen had high success and progress rates while tracking among all the NSC

participating institutions in the country. Please note that the NSC tracks the cohort at the end of the fall

semester while IPEDS tracks the cohort at the beginning or the census date of the fall semester.

Admissions UNCSA has attracted talented young artists with good academic standings from many states in the

country and from the globe. Majority of our fall 2016 first-time freshmen (79%) were in top half of their

high school graduating class and 43% were in top quarter of high school graduating class.

Table 13 shows the average SAT and ACT scores of our first-time freshmen. Table 14 displays the

distribution of high school GPA and class rank of UNCSA first-time freshmen.

UNCSA has selected talented young artists to our programs and kept the enrollment growth at the same

time. Table 15 shows the number of freshman, transfer, and graduate applicants, acceptances, and

enrollees by residency and gender for the past five years. The percent of acceptances over applicants

and the percent of enrollees over acceptances are provided for each group.

Student Housing

Over half of UNCSA college students live in the residence halls and student apartments each academic

year. These residence halls and apartments provide an invaluable living and learning experience for

students and create a community of artists. These facilities are a great housing option for UNCSA

students who spend many hours practicing or rehearsing their art. Table 20 below shows UNCSA college

student housing capacity, occupancy, and occupancy rate for each building.
