PREFACE
The University of North Carolina presents the twenty-fifth annual Statistical Abstract
of Higher Education in North Carolina. This abstract covers the breadth of higher
education activities in the State in their quantitative aspect, from simple counts of
enrollment and degrees conferred to complex analyses of the flow of student transfers
among institutions. This wide range of information, collected and published annually,
should be useful to members of the public and to planners and educators in educational
institutions and government agencies. In this edition, new information has been added to
the sections on enrollment, degrees conferred, and admissions. It is hoped that the
information will aid in the more effective use of resources allocated to higher education.
The data for the abstract were assembled by the Planning Division of the General
Administration of the University of North Carolina from information supplied by the
colleges and universities. I especially wish to acknowledge the work of Linda Balfour
and Arlene Spivey of the General Administration staff for their meticulous care in
assembling and editing the abstract and the computing staff for generating data.
Acknowledgement is also due to assisting officials at the institutions, public and private,
for their continuing and wholehearted cooperation. To all, I express my sincere
appreciation.
