ABSTRACTThis report provides comparative data for the major

independent institutions of higher education in Florida, including key dataon enrollments and completions by degree level. This information allowscomparison of levels of productivity and racial and ethnic diversity amongmembers of the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida (ICUF).Portions of the report represent data required for the IntegratedPostsecondary Education Data System, but much of the data was derived fromcohorts constructed at each institution using the methodology and criteriaprescribed by the Student Right-To-Know Act. Several outstanding strengths ofICUF institutions emerged from examination of the data in this report. ICUFinstitutions are characterized by small class size, substantially smallerthan the classes at many public institutions in Florida. ICUF institutionscomplement the institutions of the state university system by providingaccess to programs of fields of study that are not available or that havelimited access in the state system. Students usually graduated from ICUFinstitutions without a lot of extra credits, credits beyond those requiredfor graduation. A comparison of the Florida state system and ICUFinstitutions showed that productivity, in terms of degrees awarded, wassimilar at both types of schools. Institutional profiles provide informationabout enrollment, student place of residence, and racial and ethniccompositions of member schools. The foreword to this edition of theaccountability report provides information specific to Nova SoutheasternUniversity (NSU). NSU had the largest total enrollment, and the fifth largestundergraduate enrollment of the ICUF schools, with the largest graduateenrollment by a large margin. NSU has the largest first professional degreeprogram enrollment of the ICUF institutions and awarded 22% of all degreesawarded by IDUF schools from July, 1998 through June 30, 1999. An appendixcontains a list of the ICUF institutional data collectors who gathered theinformation for the report. (Contains 12 figures and 7 tables.) (SLD)

FORWARD

The 1999 ICUF Accountability Report provides comparative data for the major independentinstitutions in Florida that may be valuable to NSU faculty and administration, as well as toFlorida legislators. For example, the report includes key data on enrollments and completions bydegree level that allows comparison of levels of productivity and racial/ethnic diversity among

ICUF institutions.

The following highlights some of the areas where NSU stands out among the 27 independentcolleges and universities included in the report.

NSU has the largest total enrollment and the fifth largest undergraduate enrollment.

NSU has the largest graduate student enrollment that is more than three times larger thansecond ranked University of Miami.

Five ICUF institutions have first-professional programs and NSU has the largest first-professional enrollment of the group.

NSU awarded 22% of all degrees awarded by ICUF institutions during the period July 1, 1998through June 30, 1999 and it ranked first in the total number of degrees awarded.

o NSU awarded 40% of all master's degrees from ICUF institutions and it ranked first inthe total number of master's awarded.

o NSU awarded 71% of all doctoral degrees awarded by ICUF institutions and it rankedfirst in the total number of doctorates awarded. NSU awarded 86% of all doctoral degrees

awarded to black students attending ICUF institutions.

o NSU and the University of Miami awarded equal proportions (37%) of first-professional degrees awarded by ICUF institutions.

NSU had the highest proportion of undergraduate course sections (61%) taught by part-timefaculty. Saint Leo University had the next highest proportion (52%) taught by part-time faculty.

As a group, 28% of undergraduate sections were taught by part-time faculty at ICUF institutions.

Readers are invited to explore the wealth of other data available in the report to gauge furtherNSU's standing among its ICUF fellows.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The original set of 12 Indicators that data in this report address were developed by thePostsecondary Education Planning Commission (PEPC) in consultation with the ICUFPresidents. Subsequently, data collection representatives from ICUF member institutions(principally institutional research directors) made refinements in the data collection processin 1995. The substantial time and effort that institutional data collectors put into preparingthe Accountability Report for their institution is gratefully acknowledged. Dr. BlairAtherton, Director of Institutional Research at Nova Southeastern University, compiled thedata received from ICUF member institutions and prepared this 1999 Accountability Reportfor submission to PEPC.

INTRODUCTION

The Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida (ICUF) Accountability Report wascreated in consultation with the Postsecondary Education Planning Commission (PEPC) inresponse to Florida Statute 240.147. The Statute requires all independent postsecondaryinstitutions eligible for the Florida Resident Access Grant (FRAG) to develop accountabilityprocesses. This is the sixth cycle of accountability reporting by ICUF institutions.

This Accountability Report contains a summary of data provided by institutions that aremembers of ICUF. With the exception of the University of Miami, other regionally accreditedindependent institutions that are not members of ICUF, and nonregionally accreditedproprietary institutions are not included. Data for the University of Miami were included at therequest of PEPC, because it is the second largest independent university in Florida.

Institutions are grouped by the types of degrees they offer (i.e., bachelor's, master's, anddoctorate). Although this provides a convenient way to group institutions, it should not beassumed that institutions in each group have the same missions, or are directly comparable intheir characteristics. It must be emphasized that the ICUF institutions are diverse: they differfrom each other in details of their mission, characteristics of the student body, degree offerings,etc. Therefore, it should not be assumed that data for one ICUF institution is comparable to thatof another, or to one of the Florida public universities.

Over the last six years a variety of additional data have been added to the report to provide abroader context in which to become familiar with the contributions of ICUF institutions.Initially, the majority of data contained in the Accountability Report focused on undergraduatestudents, faculty, and programs. The data are intended to address broad issues of quality,productivity, diversity, and access.

While undergraduates are of particular interest to federal and state legislators, it should not beforgotten that many ICUF institutions also offer a variety of master's, doctoral, and first-professional degree programs. The latter contribute significantly to the overall quality ofinstitutions. Accordingly, substantial data concerning graduate and first-professional studentswere added this year to demonstrate the significant contribution made by ICUF institutions inproducing professionals with advanced degrees.

Furthermore, addition of data on the number of Florida residents served by member institutionsmake it possible for state agencies and other constituencies to gauge the contribution made byICUF institutions in educating Florida residents. Student demographics demonstrate service toracial/ethnic minorities, and data such as the number of degrees awarded provide measures ofinstitutional and independent sector productivity. Regional, professional, and specialaccreditations listed in Indicator 11 resulted from thorough external reviews, and provide strongevidence of the overall quality of ICUF institutions.

Where similar data were available, comparisons were made between aggregate data for the ICUF

sector versus aggregate data for the State University System of Florida (SUS) sector. Comparing

aggregate data at the sector-level should normalize to some extent for some of the differencesamong institutions cited above. For example, at the sector level, the racial/ethnic demographicsof faculty and undergraduates are similar for ICUF and the SUS. The intent is to provide some

type of context in which to interpret the data and evaluate the contribution the ICUF group ofinstitutions makes to higher education in Florida.

Notes on Methodology

In keeping with the spirit of the original statute, and to reduce the reporting burden oninstitutions, data from required federal reports were used whenever possible. For example,portions of the report present data taken directly from various reports required by the U.S.Department of Education for maintenance of the national Integrated Postsecondary EducationData System (IPEDS). However, the majority of the data encompassed by the original 12performance indicators was not available from existing reports.

Much of the data describing undergraduate students focuses on cohorts of full-time students thatentered college for the first time at an ICUF institution in the Fall 1993. Cohorts wereconstructed using the methodology and criteria prescribed by the Student Right-to-Know Act.

Racial/ethnic data for faculty were collected using methods and criteria prescribed in the IPEDSFall Staff Survey that institutions submit to the U.S. Department of Education every other (odd-numbered) year. Similarly, data concerning institutional enrollments were obtained from data

appearing in 1999 IPEDS Fall Enrollment Surveys. The number of degrees awarded came fromthe 1998-99 IPEDS Completions Survey. None of the other data in the report could be obtainedfrom any existing federal or other reports routinely prepared by institutions.

Unless noted otherwise, comparative data for SUS institutions came from the 1998-99 Fact Book

of the State University System of Florida produced by the Board of Regents in Tallahassee,

Florida.

Note that occasionally the data expressed as percentages may not add to exactly 100%. Thevariance of ±1% in these cases is due to rounding to whole numbers.

OVERVIEW

The Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida (ICUF) are a diverse group of 26institutions with different missions, serving diverse student populations, and offering a widevariety of undergraduate, graduate, and first-professional programs. They are dispersedthroughout the state located in or near large cities, such as Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville,and Tampa, as well as in more rural areas of Florida. Several institutions date back to the 1800s,while some others are relatively young, opening their doors to students as recently as 1992.

Total enrollments at ICUF institutions range from approximately 500 to 18,000 students. TheICUF group includes institutions that offer majors in liberal arts and sciences, fine arts, as well asengineering and technical fields. The group includes both religious- and nonreligious-affiliated

institutions.

This report attempts to identify key data elements that may provide indicators of attributes such

as racial/ethnic diversity, broad access to educational opportunities and to specific majors orfields of study, educational quality, and institutional productivity. Some of these attributes aremore amenable to quantitative measurement than others. In particular, quality of educationcannot be measured or characterized solely by quantitative criteria. A fundamental definition ofacademic quality has been a subject of much debate in academia spanning many decades.

The 1998-99 Fact Book of the State University System of Florida provided an excellent source of

data for limited comparisons of SUS statistics with those of the ICUF institutions. ICUFinstitutions compared favorably with the SUS in areas such as the diversity of students andfaculty, six-year graduation rates of first-time in college, full-time freshmen, and three-yeargraduation rates of full-time associate of arts students that transferred to ICUF institutions.Comparative data were not readily available for other types of data contained in this report.

Several outstanding strengths of ICUF institutions emerged from examination of data contained

in this report:

Small Class SizesEighty-six percent of all fall 1999 undergraduate classes at ICUF institutions had fewer than 30students and 96% of all classes contained less than 40 students. Compared to the SUS, ICUFinstitutions had smaller mean undergraduate class sizes. Sector-wide, the mean class size was 19and individual ICUF institution means ranged from 13 to 29 students. Moreover, the singlelargest class at any ICUF institution in fall 1999 was 249 students (range 28-249), substantiallysmaller than the largest classes at many SUS institutions.

Access to Higher EducationOne of the ways that ICUF institutions complement the institutions of the SUS is by providing

access to a wide array of fields of study. ICUF institutions offer some programs not available inthe SUS, and others that provide student access to particular majors or fields of study that arespace-limited in the SUS. For example, ICUF institutions admitted 100% of studentstransferring from Florida Community Colleges with an associate of arts degree into theundergraduate program of their choice.

Efficient Progression to Degree CompletionAn area that has been problematic at Florida Community Colleges and the SUS was that manystudents were graduating with large numbers of credits over and above the minimum numberneeded to graduate. This increased students' length of stay, and the cost to state taxpayers. Bothstate systems have taken action to reduce this problem.

As shown by data contained in this report, students graduated from ICUF institutionswithout alot of extra credits in excess of the minimum required for graduation. On average, studentsgraduated with only eight credits in excess of the minimum required to graduate. Moreover, aretrospective analysis of full-time freshmen that entered college for the first time at ICUFinstitutions in fall 1993 revealed that they graduated in a mean of 4.1 years. The mean time todegree at individual ICUF institutions ranged from 3.6 to five years.

Productivity in Degrees AwardedThe ratio of total undergraduate enrollment to total bachelor's degrees awarded in 1998-99 wasapproximately 5:1 for both ICUF and the SUS, suggesting similar levels of productivity in the

two sectors.

The ICUF institutions and the University of Miami awarded approximately 22,000 degrees at alllevels compared to approximately 47,000 degrees awarded by the SUS. The ICUF institutionsand the University of Miami awarded approximately 1,300 associate's degrees, almost 12,000bachelor's degrees, and approximately 8,500 graduate and first-professional degrees during theperiod July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999. This represents 25% of the total number ofbachelor's degrees, 38% of the master's degrees, 41% of the doctoral degrees, and 60% of thefirst-professional degrees awarded by the SUS and ICUF combined (see Figure 1 below).Furthermore, the ICUF institutions enrolled and graduated a slightly higher proportion ofstudents from minorities in master's and doctoral programs than the SUS.

Particularly noteworthy is the fact that ICUF institutions awarded 50% more first-professionaldegrees than the entire SUS. In addition, ICUF institutions offer first-professional degrees in abroader range of fields than the SUS. The latter offers professional degrees in medicine,pharmacy, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and law, while ICUF offers degrees in medicine,pharmacy, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, law, and ministry (D. Min.).

Class Size Range

40 or More

One of the strengths and value-added benefits offered by ICUF institutions is small class sizes.

59% of all undergraduate classes offered at ICUF institutions had fewer than 20

students.

86% of all classes had fewer than 30 students and only 4% contained 40 or more

students.

The three largest lower level undergraduate sections among all ICUF institutionscontained 249, 169, and 89 students, respectively. This is considerably smaller than the

largest sections at SUS institutions.

The single largest lower level undergraduate section at individual ICUF institutionsranged in size from 28-249 students. The median of the largest sections was 64 students.However, note that "large sections" represent a very small proportion of undergraduate

classes at ICUF institutions.

ICUF institutions awarded a total of 11,556 bachelor's degrees during the period July 1, 1998 through

June 30, 1999.

Overall, 31% of bachelor's degree recipients at ICUF institutions were from racial/ethnic minorities.Approximately 29% of the students graduating with a bachelor's degree from SUS institutions werefrom minorities (Fact Book 1998-99 of the State University System of Florida).

At ICUF institutions, 58% of graduates were women, and 42% were men. Graduates at SUSinstitutions included 57% women and 43% men.

As a group, doctoral institutions awarded the highest proportion of bachelor's degrees to minority

graduates (41%).

Graduation and Retention Rates for First-Time in College Full-Time Freshmen

The two tables that follow describe the racial/ethnic composition and rates ofgraduation andretention for cohorts of first-time in college full-time freshmen that entered college in the Fall1993. Selection of students to be included in the cohorts followed the selection criteriaprescribed by federal regulations for implementation of the Student Right-to-Know Act (Public

Law 101-542).

It is difficult to make valid comparisons of the graduation rates of individual institutions. Inorder to do so, one must be able to identify institutions with very similar institutional andstudent characteristics. The ICUF member institutions and the SUS institutions varyconsiderably in their missions, the types of students served, racial/ethnic diversity, selectivity(i.e., admissions standards and requirements), the availability of remedial and/or academicsupport services, etc. Therefore, the reader should be cautious in attempting to evaluate theperformance of a particular institution, or to compare institutions without this essential

contextual information.

Aggregate rates of graduation and retention for ICUF institutions were compared with SUSinstitutions, using data from the 1998-99 Fact Book of the State University System of Florida.Data at the sector-level may to some extent normalize for variance among individual institutionsdue to differences in student and institutional characteristics described above. As noted in thetable, ICUF institutions as a group had a six-year graduation rate of 48% versus a six-year ratefor the SUS of 61%.

Data concerning the proportion of freshmen that were first-time in college students wasincluded to illustrate that graduation rates for first-time in college freshmen generally do not

represent the overall productivity of an institution's undergraduate programs. For example, first-

time in college full-time freshmen represented approximately one-fourth of all freshmen at SaintThomas University; therefore, their rates of completion are not a good measure of the rate ofgraduation of undergraduates in general at the university.

Moreover, rates of graduation of small circumscribed cohorts of undergraduates might suggestthat ICUF institutions produce small numbers of bachelor's degree recipients. In fact, overallproductivity on an annual basis is quite substantial. As an example, approximately 100bachelor's degrees were awarded by Barry University to members of the Fall 1993 cohort so far,

but the university awards approximately 1,200 bachelor's degrees annually. Therefore, the totalnumber of bachelor's degrees awarded during a 12-month period is a more comprehensive

measure of productivity. These data are shown on pages 30 and 34.

Finally, six-year graduation rates are not final or ultimate rates for institutions with members ofthe cohort still enrolled. Thus, the completion rate will continue to increase until all students inthe cohort have graduated or left the institution.

In the aggregate, the fall 1993 cohort of first-time in college full-time freshmen at ICUFinstitutions included 32% of freshmen from minorities. In comparison, 37% of full-time lowerlevel undergraduates enrolled in fall 1993 at SUS institutions were from minorities.

Black students were the predominant minority group served by both ICUF and SUSinstitutions in 1993.

The ICUF group includes four institutions where the majority of students were fromracial/ethnic minority groups: Bethune-Cookman College, Edward Waters College, FloridaMemorial College, and St. Thomas University. The SUS has two, Florida A & M and FloridaInternational University.
