year's CDS Question B1 cohort.) Include aid awarded to international students
(i.e., those not qualifying for federal aid). Aid that is non-need-based
but that was used to meet need should be reported in the need-based aid columns.
(For a suggested order of precedence in assigning categories of aid to cover
need, see the entry for "non-need-based scholarship or grant aid" on the last
page of the definitions section.)
Common Data Set I: Instructional Faculty And Class Size (2004-2005)
I-1. Please
report number of instructional faculty members in each category for Fall 2004.
The following
definition of instructional faculty is used by the American Association of University
Professors (AAUP) in its annual Faculty Compensation Survey. Instructional Faculty
is defined as those members of the instructional-research staff whose major
regular assignment is instruction, including those with released time for research.
Institutions are asked to EXCLUDE:
(a) instructional faculty in preclinical and clinical medicine
(b) administrative officers with titles such as dean of students, librarian,
registrar, coach, and the like, even though they may devote part of their time
to classroom instruction and may have faculty status,
(c) undergraduate or graduate students who assist in the instruction of courses,
but have titles such as teaching assistant, teaching fellow, and the like
(d) faculty on leave without pay, and
(e) replacement faculty for faculty on sabbatical leave.
Full-time: faculty
employed on a full-time basis
Part-time: faculty teaching less than two semesters, three quarters, two trimesters,
or two four-month sessions. Also includes adjuncts and part-time instructors.
Minority faculty: includes faculty who designate themselves as black, non-Hispanic;
American Indian or Alaskan native; Asian or Pacific Islander; or Hispanic.
Doctorate: includes such degrees as Doctor of Education, Doctor of Juridical
Science, Doctor of Public Health, and Doctor of Philosophy degree in any field
such as agronomy, food technology, education, engineering, public administration,
ophthalmology, or radiology.
First-professional: includes the fields of dentistry (DDS or DMD), medicine
(MD), optometry (OD), osteopathic medicine (DO), pharmacy (DPharm or BPharm),
podiatric medicine (DPM), veterinary medicine (DVM), chiropractic (DC or DCM),
law (JD) and theological professions (MDiv, MHL).
Terminal degree:
the highest degree in a field: example, M. Arch (architecture) and MFA (master
of fine arts).

I-2. Student
to Faculty Ratio
Report the Fall
2004 ratio of full-time equivalent students (full-time plus 1/3 part time) to
full-time equivalent instructional faculty (full time plus 1/3 part time). In
the ratio calculations, exclude both faculty and students in stand-alone graduate
or professional programs such as medicine, law, veterinary, dentistry, social
work, business, or public health in which faculty teach virtually only graduate
level students. Do not count undergraduate or graduate student teaching assistants
as faculty.
Fall 2004 Student to Faculty ratio:
16
to 1 based on 15833 students and 996 faculty.
I-3. Undergraduate
Class Size
In the table
below, please use the following definitions to report information about the
size of classes and class sections offered in the Fall 2004 term.
Class Sections:
A class section is an organized course offered for credit, identified by discipline
and number, meeting at a stated time or times in a classroom or similar setting,
and not a subsection such as a laboratory or discussion session. Undergraduate
class sections are defined as any sections in which at least one degree-seeking
undergraduate student is enrolled for credit. Exclude distance learning classes
and noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis
research, music instruction, or one-to-one readings. Exclude students in independent
study, co-operative programs, internships, foreign language taped tutor sessions,
practicums, and all students in one-on-one classes. Each class section should
be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of course catalog
cross-listings.
Class Subsections:
A class subsection includes any subsection of a course, such as laboratory,
recitation, and discussion subsections that are supplementary in nature and
are scheduled to meet separately from the lecture portion of the course. Undergraduate
subsections are defined as any subsections of courses in which degree-seeking
undergraduate students enrolled for credit. As above, exclude noncredit classes
and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction,
or one-to-one readings. Each class subsection should be counted only once and
should not be duplicated because of cross-listings.
Using the above
definitions, please report for each of the following class-size intervals the
number of class sections and class subsections offered in Fall 2004. For example,
a lecture class with 800 students who met at another time in 40 separate labs
with 20 students should be counted once in the "100+" column in the class section
column and 40 times under the "20-29" column of the class subsections table.
