5 Foreword The Tennessee Independent Colleges and Universities Association (TICUA) is pleased to present Characteristics Fall This thirteenth edition of the report highlights trends in student participation, affordability, and degree completion for our member institutions and their students through the 2015 fall semester. Our 34 member colleges and universities educate over 80,000 students from across the state, throughout the country, and around the world. TICUA member institutions enrolled 27% of the students in Tennessee, but awarded 34% of all degrees in the State. This document has four distinct sections. Section One provides a one-year snapshot of students at private colleges and universities in Tennessee. Section Two provides a one-year snapshot of faculty at TICUA member institutions. Section Three presents trends over time at the independent colleges and universities. Section Four offers comparisons of the private educational sector to public education in Tennessee. Two appendices extend a detailed picture of each of the member campuses. We hope that Characteristics Fall 2015 is informative to you. Together these sections are intended to inform campus, business, and government leaders who provide direction for higher education policy at the institution, local, state, and federal levels. We strive to ensure that the information contained in this publication is as accurate and current as possible. The data contained in this report were furnished by member institutions as part of TICUA s enrollment and completions reporting cycle. Additional data sources, if any, are indicated by notes accompanying each figure. We wish to thank our member institutions for working with us over the years to accurately and timely reflect the contributions of Tennessee independent colleges and universities. We welcome your thoughts and comments on this publication at research@ticua.org. 5
