A total of 165 students participated in this study. Overall,
more than 90% of our undergraduate students are from within
the state. Approximately 80% of these students commute to
the campus, which confirms our mission as a regional university.
About 40% of our students are first-generation college
students. The university typically enrolls male and female
students in roughly equal numbers. Minorities represent approximately
15% of our student body. Approximately onethird
of our students are enrolled part-time. Full time enrollment
is 22% of the total graduate enrollment; and graduate
enrollment represents 19% of the total university enrollment
(NEASC Report 2008).
