HIGHLIGHTS
  • Enrollments in arts and sciences majors have nearly doubled in the last five years, which explains why faculty growth was so great in those two colleges.
  • Accreditation and a growing shift toward graduate studies fueled faculty increases in business and education, even though business enrollments have plateaued in recent years.
  • The nursing shortages of the early 1990s brought substantial increases in sponsored hospitals and special funding initiatives.
