ObjectivesObjectives
Identify and select variables that describe Catholic Colleges and Universities in USA
Explore the mission of Catholic Colleges and Universities in light of the selected variables
Develop a profile for Catholic Colleges and Universities
PurposePurpose
The changing landscape of higher education necessitates collaboration to define and articulate characteristics of Catholic Colleges and Universities.
Dynamic trends require availability of current data for leaders to make informed decisions to facilitate active and rapid response to rising circumstances
BackgroundBackground
The rising cost of higher education is reported to influence students choices (Archibald and Fieldman, 2008)
Institutional aid to students has an impact on recruitment, retention and institutional success (Orsuwan and Heck, 2009).
Integrated in the mission for the Catholic postsecondary institutions is the goal to increase diversity (Gallin, 2000)
At the ACCU 2009 meeting in Washington, DC, leadership, diversity, and managing financial aid were top topics.
Background (Cont.)Background (Cont.)
The search for increased access is changing the mix of awarding need-based financial aid relative to merit aid (Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education report, 2007)
Institutions use endowments to enhance and support student’s financial aid, teaching, scholarship, research, and public service (Broad, 2008).
ACCU member institutions who exist in the IPEDS Peer Analysis System (PAS)
Information was found on 235 of the current member institutions
Subjects Subjects
MethodMethod The list of member institutions of
ACCU was obtained.
Data on selected variables on institutions were drawn from the IPEDS peer analysis system (PAS) at the collection level and developed into tables.
Selected variables were analyzed.
