3 UCF At a Glance Celebrating 50 Years opened in 1968 with 1,500 students now over 60,000 students first in state; second in nation UCF stands for opportunity. rated one of 50 Best Value universities by Kiplinger s Personal Finance a top 100 Best Buy College according to Forbes Top Tier National University, School to Watch, and a top 5 up-andcoming schools by U.S. News & World Report among top 50 nationwide for most FTIC National Merit Scholars September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 3

4 Enrollment Projections: An Overview The purpose of modeling is to reduce complex institutional problems to simpler proportions, so that the human skills of decision makers can most effectively be brought to bear on the issues to be resolved. (Gaunt & Haight, 1977, p. 305) September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 4

5 Enrollment Projections: An Overview Enrollment projections (forecasting, modeling) should not be confused with enrollment management. Target Influence Staff Responsible Overall Goal Projections No enrollment target necessary Student demand (controlled by policy) Institutional research and planning Predicting enrollment levels to better determine resource needs as well as tuition and fees collected Management End target generally required Administration (also controlled by policy) Admissions and registrar Crafting institutional demographics and student mix September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 5

6 Enrollment Projections: An Overview There is no one size fits all approach to projecting postsecondary enrollment. different cultural, financial, and political contexts different challenges with increasing or decreasing enrollment trends Although all institutions are different, general methodologies and inputs can be quite similar. similar types of mathematical (or non-mathematical) models similar explanatory inputs, such as general population forecasts or institutional retention rates September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 6

7 ENROLLMENT PROJECTION LITERATURE REVIEW September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 7

8 Purpose and Importance Student enrollment translated into fiscal income is fundamentally important to budget, program, and personnel planning. Accurate enrollment forecasts are crucial for colleges and universities to remain competitive inaccurate enrollment forecasts can lead to poor allocation of funds and resources. (Chen, 2008, p. 2) September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 8

9 Purpose and Importance Not all institutions have a time-tested general methodology in place for conducting enrollment projections. one-or-two-person IR offices various levels of skill sets among IR staff some institutions provide limited latitude to their IR offices in presenting these types of figures Even institutions with well-established enrollment projection methodologies can allow processes to evolve. changing demographics can lead to potentially different inputs access to different software and knowledge bases can allow for streamlining of processes examining how institutional peers may conduct projections September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 9

10 Enrollment Projections: Brief History Some of the earliest scholarly literature regarding postsecondary enrollment projections was published in the 1950 s and 1960 s. Many of the methods being discussed throughout the 1960 s and 1970 s literature are still in use at institutions today. Markov chain models cohort flow models regression models A big focus for scholars in projecting enrollment through the 1970 s involved the creation of computerized simulation models intended to apply to multiple institutions September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 10

11 Types of Models Common methods for projecting enrollment fall into several categories and can be grouped into the more straightforward and traditional to the more mathematical and recent. Surveys Subjective judgment Ratio methods Cohort survival Regression analysis Markov modeling Time series analysis Neural network Simulation Fuzzy time series Traditional, straightforward Recent, mathematical September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 11

12 Common Variables No matter the modeling method, certain variables can typically be found across model types. population projections for the surrounding area high school graduation rates historical institutional enrollment data enrollment data from a competing institution various economic measures, such as unemployment rate, consumer price index, average per capita income Some variables may seem appropriate, but may not be the most effective in predicting incoming enrollment counts. incoming student grades test scores (SAT, ACT) assorted demographics September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 12

13 Selecting the Best Model One of the most difficult pieces of enrollment modeling can lie in the selection process itself. Here s what researchers have recommended for the selection of a modeling process. sufficiently simple logic for the layman, but complex enough to be meaningful when utilizing historic figures, necessary to have a sufficiently longitudinal basis variables should make sense in the context of enrollment (correlation is not causation!) predictor variables should be available for future years fitting for the time frame any costs of forecasting should not outweigh benefits September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 13

14 Pros and Cons of Modeling Methods All methods have benefits and drawbacks for use. Here s what researchers have stated on three selected methods. Method Pros Cons Ratio Methods (Alon, 2005) Regression Models (Ahlburg, McPherson, & Schapiro, 1994; Chen, 2008) Does not require deep mathematical knowledge Can provide a reasonable degree of accuracy Accessible to most individuals with reasonable mathematical abilities Can model enrollment and help determine what factors are truly related to enrollment shifts Backed by little quantitative evidence Process can be unintuitive, as past trends may not always serve as the best predictors Can be easily influenced by outliers Fuzzy Time Series (Song & Chissom, 1993) Small average forecasting error Can accompany management judgment Lenient requirements for historical data Method is likely to be most unfamiliar to IR professionals Forecasts depend on subjective output interpretations September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 14

15 Peer Review of Modeling Methods Our search for determining an effective model led us to perform a high-level search for the methodology used by our comparison and aspirational peer institutions, among others. Very few institutions posted any information on their websites about the methods they used to project enrollment. Recruitment methods are understandably secretive, but why mathematical methodologies? Possibilities that many institutions do not utilize methodologies that are particularly mathematical? September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 15

16 Peer Review of Modeling Methods Our search for determining an effective model led us to perform a high-level search for the methodology used by our comparison and aspirational peer institutions, among others. Some institutions had significant modeling information posted, but more in the form of an academic exercise rather than actual practice. scholarly articles sometimes addressed mathematics of college/university projections without discussing long-term viability other institutions openly shared a historical enrollment dataset to be analyzed by mathematicians internationally (e.g., University of Alabama) September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 16

17 Peer Review of Modeling Methods Our search for determining an effective model led us to perform a high-level search for the methodology used by our comparison and aspirational peer institutions, among others. Available models included both models for individual institutions and projections developed for multi-campus systems. September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 17

18 Sampling of Institutional Models A 1997 report from the Florida Postsecondary Education Planning Commission indicated the use of sector-level and state-level regression analyses to determine statewide postsecondary enrollment. The University of Hawaii Community College System noted the use of basic trends and the ratio method in its 2011 projections. The University of North Carolina Charlotte did not name a specific method for its 2007 projections, but based its structure on high school graduation rates, higher education enrollment patterns, and county-level growth data. September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 18

19 Sampling of Institutional Models The Maryland Higher Education Commission cited a combination of ratio methods and regression models in its 2011 projections for its postsecondary institutions at all levels, largely examining population and high school graduate factors. The University of Delaware openly presented its enrollment projections, which utilizes prior enrollment and retention rates in a ratio-type model.

28 Program-Level Projections We gather 10 years of historical enrollment (where possible) for each program at the university and estimate the next 10 years via mathematical models. average of three methods adjusted linear projection model logarithmic projection model overall university annual growth rates applied to previous yr. enrollment Degree production also projected and is based on several years of current enrollment. September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 28

29 Program-Level Projections Projections are sent to each college for review. each college receives only their programs to review organized Excel file is sent with detailed instructions each college is likely to know more than we will about program limits, new programs, soon-to-be inactivated or suspended programs We receive the adjusted projections and create a summary report for each college, including university-wide and college-specific trends.

30 Model Conclusions 5-Year Model fairly accurate in the short term; increasing error in future years data-driven process based on historical student behavior detailed down to student level and term adaptable for future developments 10-Year Model expanded from 5-year model applies high school graduation and population projections, weighted by the areas that supply our students September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 30

31 IMPLICATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS September 24, 2012 Best Practices in Enrollment Modeling 31

32 Future Study and Research Despite the appearance of more complex enrollment modeling methods, institutions are sticking with simplistic, easy-to-grasp models. A lack of publicly posted enrollment models suggests that further research needs to be conducted to truly determine the overall picture of postsecondary enrollment modeling. what models are being used? what factors led to their selection? how accurate have the models been in predicting enrollment?
