520 |a This report reviews statewide trends in Washington community college enrollments from fall 1971 through fall 1976. The growth of total academic and occupational full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment over this period was 26.4%, with the only decline occurring in 1976. FTE enrollment declined 6.2% from 1975, from 88,538 to 83,028, and headcount enrollment declined from 151,644 to 145,962, with approximately one-third of the decreases accounted for by a revised data collection methodology. The percentage of state high school graduates entering community colleges in 1976 rose from 27.9% to 30.3%. A decline in student mobility was apparent in the decrease in transfer students and out-of-state entrants, coupled with greater student retention. After four years of continuous increase, veteran enrollment dropped sharply in 1976, decreasing by 7,753 or 36.5%. This factor was the most significant influence on 1976 community college enrollments, affecting virtually all of the other demographic areas and accounting for a 2% decline in the number of full-time students, a decline in the average age from 29 to 28 and in the median age from 26 to 25, and a significant decline in the number of male students. Women accounted for 52.3% of enrollment in 1976 but only 44.1% in 1972. Minority enrollments increased steadily over the five year period, constituting 13.9% of total enrollment in 1976. Tabulated data is included throughout the report. (JDS)
