During the 2003-2004 academic year, 82 doctoral (44%) and 104 master's (56%) degree students were enrolled in the Higher Education program. Because of its national reputation in student affairs preparation, the program has a balance of students from both in state and out of state. A significant percentage of those in the community college emphasis are Iowa residents. Students in the Higher Education program come from throughout the United States, from both small colleges as well as large universities and from a wide variety of academic disciplines.
There are 104 students enrolled in the Higher Education masters program; 31 are men (30%) and 73 are women (70%). There are 82 students enrolled in the Higher Education doctoral program, 32 are men(39%) and 50 are women (61%).
The Higher Education program maintains a strong commitment to diversity. There are currently 20 (24%) doctoral and 12 (12%) master's degree students enrolled in the Higher Education program that are students of color. The minority recruiting efforts have been greatly enhanced by the efforts of the Graduate College, former graduates, current faculty members as well as by the financial assistance provided by the Graduate Minority Affairs Program. Current faculty within the Higher Education program include six people of color; three tenured/tenure track and three adjunct faculty.
[Note: All non-white students are included in the minority category. Current non-white students include American Indian, African-American, Asian-American, Latino/Latina, and biracial students.]
There are 85 full-time (82%) and 19 part-time (18%) students enrolled in the Higher Education masters program. There are 25 full-time (30%) and 57 part-time (70%) students enrolled in the Higher Education doctoral program. A student is considered full-time if he/she is enrolled in nine or more graduate credit hours. Students enrolled in less than nine graduate credit hours are considered part-time. Particularly in the community college emphasis area, most of the students are part-time, as the majority of them are also working in a community college in the state.
