New Freshman Characteristics
The New Freshman Characteristics highlight a continued increase in the ACT scores of the Fall 2013 Freshman cohort. For the Twin Cities campus, the mean composite ACT score is 27.9 and the median score is 28. The mean score for the Fall 2002 cohort was 24.7. The College of Science and Engineering reported the highest college level composite ACT score mean of 30.8, followed closely by the College of Biological Sciences with 30.3 (Source). It should be noted that the High School Rank should be viewed cautiously as fewer values are submitted with students' applications than in the past (Over 37% missing for Twin Cities campus).

Enrollment Map Highlights
The Fall Enrollment Map shows three views of the student population: Normalized by location, 1 Year Difference and 5 Year Difference. This tool can highlight some of the regional differences of UMN Institutions. For example, viewing all Twin Cities campus undergraduates compared to the Duluth campus undergraduates map highlights the number influence on the Arrowhead region of Duluth versus the Twin Cities metro area.

More on the Fall Enrollment Pivot Tool
The Fall Student Enrollment Pivot reports were created to enable our users to cross a few of our key variables which are reported separately on the Official Enrollment Reports. Take a look if you are hoping to find a finer detail level within variable sub-groups, for example Gender by Ethnicity Group. With the Fall 2013 release, we are able to provide six years of data on this report.

The enrollment reports have a much finer level of detail, along with the five-year trends for enrollment.

New Freshman Characteristics
The New Freshman Characteristics highlight a continued increase in the ACT scores of the Fall 2012 Freshman cohort. For the Twin Cities campus, the mean composite ACT score is 27.7 and the median score is 28. The mean score for the Fall 2002 cohort was 24.7.

It should be noted that the High School Rank should be viewed cautiously as fewer values are submitted with students' applications than in the past (Over 35% missing for Twin Cities campus).

Enrollment Map Highlights
The Fall Enrollment Map was updated last summer to shows three views of the student population: Normalized by location, 1 Year Difference and 5 Year Difference. This tool can highlight some of the regional differences of the Institution versus a College. For example, viewing all Twin Cities campus understands map compared to College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS) undergrads highlights the amount of rural county students attending CFANS compared to the Twin Cities metro area.

Updated: Enrollment Map, Student Performance

The Fall Enrollment by Home Location map has been updated to display a data table of the data available on the map. International students were previously identified only by home location, which is the location from which they applied. The map now uses the student's citizenship country which provides a more accurate representation. The data is also available to download.

The Undergraduate Student Performance reports, which contains Term/Cumulative GPA, Credits Completed and Credits Completed Percentage for all campuses, are now available to current students (Spring 2010-current term enrollment), faculty and staff. Previously, the data was open to a much more limited audience.

Enrollment Data: Fall 2011 Released

Fall 2011 Data
The Fall 2011 Official Enrollment Statistics and New Freshman Characteristics data has been loaded. The Fall Enrollment Map and the Fall Student Enrollment Pivot reports also have the Fall 2011 data. All of these reports can be found in the student data section.

Enrollment Map Changes
The Fall Enrollment Map was updated last summer to show two new views of the student population, 1 Year Difference and 5 Year Difference. These offer a bit different piece of information than the default, normalized view, to see how the population of the University is evolving over time.

Enrollment Map - Mapping Differences

The Enrollment Map has been updated to include two more data views: One Year Difference and Five Year Difference. While the Normalized data view provides a "local impact" at a glance, the difference views show the change over time. The view can reflect a population change (e.g. more students coming from suburban Twin Cities counties because of growth), or results of a recruiting effort (e.g. Undergraduates students from China)

To change the view use the "View" prompt on the far right hand side of the screen (pictured below).

Mapping Student Data

On May 11th, we released a new version of our enrollment map and a map showing our students studying abroad. This release was developed because we purchased a mapping package from the provider of our charting package to replace Google maps. The big change this mapping software allowed was easily rendering Minnesota Counties, intensity mapping based upon numeric input and easy mouse-over popup showing data per location (e.g. How many students come from Hennepin county). The end result was a more usable map.

Enrollment Mapped by Home Location
Not only did the mapping tool change for this report, but we also changed how we report the data. Since the Minnesota county data was always skewed towards the largest counties, we decided to normalize the data by finding the ratio of students per total residents in each location. Since our enrollment varies by year, we utilized the census estimiates site to find the estimated population of each county, state and country per year, to match. The end result shows the impact of each institution on the local community as opposed to the raw numbers.

Duluth - Fall 2010 Enrollment

Morris - Fall 2010 Enrollment

As you can see in the images above, the coordinate counties near the coordinate campuses are impacted more strongly that the metro area, while the Twin Cities students impacts the metro area. Without normalizing the data, Hennepin and Ramsey county dominate the maps, as they are the two largest counties in the state, containing almost 2/5 of the state population.

This map below shows the number of University students participating in study programs in each country for a given Academic Year and Campus. Since we aren't as concerned about the population, the intensity map shows the raw data.

Twin Cities - Students Abroad 2009-10

Site Update 5/11/2011

This morning we have released two new reports and enhanced the functionality of two reports.

New Reports
Fall Student Enrollment Pivot Reports: This tool brings the drag and drop functionality and ability to cross variables to the enrollment data. We have released the past three Fall terms, but for the next term, we will release the previous five Fall enrollment numbers on the tool, Fall 2007-Fall 2011. This release is coupled with an improvement to the drag and drop interface.

Students Studying Abroad: This report using the DW Education Abroad system to show the number of University students participating in study programs in each country for a given Academic Year and Campus.

Enhanced Reports
Fall Enrollment Map: The Enrollment data is now split into county, state and country level intensity maps, as well as normalized by the population of the counties.

HR Employee Count: The improvements made to the drag and drop interface for the Fall Enrollment also applies to the HR Employee count reports.

A detailed explanation of each of the reports will be released in the coming weeks.

Enrollment Data: Fall 2010 Released

Fall 2010 Data
The Fall 2010 Official Enrollment Statistics and New Freshman Characteristics data has been loaded.

Race/Ethnicity (Multi) Data re-loaded
The Official Enrollment Report for Race/Ethnicity (Multi), the report which also breaks out students who report more than one Race/Ethnicity group, was reloaded. The data counting the international students was incorrect, though the number of affected students was quite low. It should now match the numbers found on the Data Warehouse.

Historical Student Headcounts
The Historical Student Headcounts page was also updated, and corrected. The graph shows only Twin Cities campus, previously the 2009-10 value had 57 extra students from the Rochester campus.


Fall Enrollment Map
We have released a new tool to coincide with the Fall 2010 data, the Enrollment Map. This tool maps the Official Enrollment Home Location Code (HLC) to a latitude and longitude, then using the Google Maps API, places a marker based upon the number of students at the corresponding HLC. Data can be viewed by Term, Campus, Level and College. It is a neat way to visualize the enrollment.
