Foreword
Dear Colleagues,
The Georgia Independent College Association is pleased to share this year’s GICA DESCRIPTIVES 2012 which includes updated information about our sector, member institutions, affordability, enrollment and completion trends, and much more. The data speak to the major contributions each campus and our sector make to ensure an educated Georgia and meet workforce needs. We hope the information you find inside will provide member institutions with important trend data which may be useful in the strategic planning process.
Section 1 provides overall sector information including enrollment snapshots, headcount trends, graduation rates as well as information regarding the financial contributions of the sector and expenditures. This section addresses who we serve, how we do so, and our effectiveness as a sector.
Section 2 presents basic descriptive information about each campus which may help familiarize those in the independent education sector about the variety of institutions that make up GICA. Information in this section includes locations of the campuses, distance learning availability and award offerings, student/faculty ratios, athletics association memberships, and participation in the Yellow Ribbon program.
Section 3 examines enrollment trends by institution, and looks at variations by gender, race, age, and students with disabilities. Also included is the most recent information regarding admissions for Fall 2012.
Section 4 explores the affordability and financial aid received by students attending each GICA institution, including published total price, tuition and fees, financial aid awards, and more. Much of this information is presented using trend data with percent change overviews.
Section 5 provides an overview of degrees awarded and completions for each institution by degree level.
The data for this report were provided by public information sites. Unless otherwise cited, all information in this publication come from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) or via special campus request. We hope that you enjoy learning more about our member institutions.
For more information, please contact Dr. Carrie Sawtell, Director of Research, at 404.233.5433.

From 2004 to 2012, enrollment in GICA member institutions increased from 58,729 students to 71,176 students,
representing a 21% growth.
The student body at GICA member institutions is diverse: 57% report being non-white, 63% are female, 24% of

State’s Zell Miller Scholarship award, and more than 25,000 received the State’s Tuition Equalization Grant.
More than $36 million in HOPE/Zell scholarship funds were awarded and just over $15 million in TEG funds were

GICA institutions awarded $77,686,565 in institutional grant aid to first-time, full-time freshmen in 2010-2011.
This represents nearly half (48%) of the total aid awarded to students. The average amount of institutional grant

total FTE instructional staff not teaching in graduate or professional programs. Thus, the figures here may not match self-reported
