Fall 2015 Enrollment Report: Background and Context

Overview of Fall 2015 enrollmentFactors, Perceptions

“Trends” and Underlying reasons specific to individual campuses

While we see a decline in our aggregate numbers, there is much to be positive about within this report

Turning enrollment around is a complicated and multi-year process; we are seeing the impact of improving enrollment at several campuses, work that has been underway for several years


Projections and Data that Impact our EnrollmentApprox 54% of Maine high school students enroll in

college; UMS share historically is 30-33% (or 18% of an entire graduating class)

Maine public high school graduates will decline to approx. 12000 through 2030



Other Factors that Impact EnrollmentNational Dialogue

Affordability/Cost of Higher Education/IndebtednessValue of a degree/ROI of liberal arts educationNational/State focus on associate degrees and other

credentials – “21st Century Skills”Changing expectation re exit skills of graduates

(theoretical and applied knowledge; “soft skills”) Increased Competition within the state and outside
