When we talk about enrollment numbers we use two terms - "head count" and "full-time equivalent, or FTE."
Head count is the total number of students who enrolled in a year, whether full or part-time.
FTE is based on the total number of credits taken in a semester.
And example - if two students each enroll part time, taking half the credits needed, the head count number would be two. But, the FTE number would be one (credits added together & then divided by the number of students).
Here are the head count/FTE numbers asked for The College of St. Scholastica.
YEAR | HEAD COUNT | FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT (FTE) |
1990 (Fall semester) | 1953 | 1706.66 |
2000 (Fall semester) | 2062 | 1837.06 |
2010 (Fall semester) | 3898 | 3597.2 |
