1 UMaine Undergraduate Majors Fall 2009 Fall 2016 UMaine Office of Institutional Research 8 November 2016 The table below is intended as a convenient eight-year summary of fall enrollment for undergraduate degree programs in the five colleges and the Division of Lifelong Learning. We also include the Honors College, Explorations and Foundations programs, undeclared and nondegree students, the Intensive English Institute, and programs for the college-bound (Academ-e, Aspiration Incentive Program, Bridge Year). 1 For each, we report fall enrollment for the respective year as well as these multi-year indices: 1. the trend line across the fall enrollment values; 2. the mean change in enrollment from one year to the next; 3. the percentage change comparing 2009 and 2016; and 4. the annual growth rate 2 across the fall enrollment values. Consider Zoology (ZOL) as an example. We see ZOL fall enrollments increasing from 65 in 2009 to 139 in 2016, which is illustrated by an upwardly sloping trend line. The next value, 10.6, is the mean change in ZOL enrollment from one year to the next. On average, then, ZOL annually gained about 11 students over these years. The next value compares the number of ZOL majors in 2016 with that in 2009 a 114% increase. The final column shows an annual growth rate for ZOL of roughly 12%. These measures are statistical abstractions, of course, and they typically will misrepresent the nature of change from any one year to the next. When considered with that caveat in mind, they nonetheless should be useful as one reviews the enrollment figures for the various majors. 1 Discontinued programs and visiting students are excluded. Where an earlier major (e.g., LHC Landscape Horticulture) has been subsumed by a later major (e.g., ENH Environmental Horticulture), we use the name of the latter for all years. 2 We use the compound annual growth rate for this purpose.
