5 DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Relationship between Tuition Rates and Financial Indicators in the Florida College System The purpose of the quantitative study is to reduce barriers for students seeking greater access and affordability of a college degree by measuring the relationships between changes in tuition rates and changes in various financial indicators in Florida College System (FCS) institutions. The financial indicators analyzed include (a) state appropriations, (b) direct instructional costs, (c) net operating revenues, (d) total operating expenditures, and (e) average salary of fulltime instructors. Statistical analysis is applied to measure the relationships between change in tuition rates and changes in the financial indicators. Results of the study revealed a statistically significant inverse correlation between changes in tuition rate and changes in state appropriations in the FCS. In addition, an inverse correlation exists between changes in tuition rate and changes in total institutional costs per FTE. Findings also indicate lack of significant correlation between changes in tuition rates and changes in the percent of institutional costs spent on instruction, net operating revenues per FTE, and changes in contracted salary per FTE of fulltime instructors. Serendipitous results reveal a statistically significant direct correlation between tuition rate and the average contracted salary of fulltime instructors in the FCS. Results of the study guide development of a tuition rate strategy to support the long-range financial plan implemented in a Florida College System institution. Page 5
