THE CUNY MASTER PLAN 2012-2016 graduates at this time were born outside of the U.S. mainland and they speak 193 different languages. Also, in fall 2011, 26 percent of CUNY undergraduates were white, 29 percent were Hispanic, 27 percent were black, and 18 percent were Asian. At the graduate level the students are more likely to be white (57 percent in fall 2011) with 14 percent Hispanic, 15 percent black, and 13 percent Asian/Pacific Islander. A student profile from fall 2011 shows that 65 percent and 53 percent of students in the community and senior colleges, respectively, received Pell Grants, and thus were from extremely challenging financial backgrounds. Also, in fall 2011, 44 percent of CUNY undergraduates were first-generation college students, 14 percent were married, 14 percent were supporting children, and 32 percent worked for more than 20 hours a week. Approximately 35 percent of undergraduates attended part time in fall 2011, 10 percent more at the community colleges than at the senior colleges. The majority of students in the Graduate School, the School of Journalism, and all of the students in the Law School attend full time. In the School of Professional Studies, more students attend part time. CUNY Students: Demographic Projections A few trends are helpful in predicting who CUNY students will be in 2016. The number of DOE graduates from each graduating cohort has increased nearly 40 percent between 2002 and 2010. Hispanic students saw the greatest increase in the number of DOE graduates: 63 percent (from 10,580 in the 2002 graduating cohort to 17,291 in the 2010 graduating cohort). Black students had the next largest increase: 45 percent (from 11,012 to 15,928). The number of Asian graduates increased 32 percent (from 7,082 to 9,342). White students saw the smallest increase: 1.6 percent (from 7,776 to 7,901). CUNY’s student body is also becoming more traditional in a number of ways. • The percentage of first-time freshmen entering CUNY with a GED as compared to a traditional high school diploma has been declining, from 11 percent in fall 2001 to 5 percent in fall 2010. • The percentage of students working more than 20 hours per week for pay has also declined, from 44 percent in 2002 to 32 percent in 2010. • The percentage of students 25 years old and older has dropped from 37 percent in 2002 to 28 percent in 2010. • The share of first-time freshmen entering CUNY without a delay after high school graduation has been increasing, from 73 percent in 2002 to 89 percent in 2010. • A smaller portion of the student body is attending part time: 38 percent in 2002 compared to 34 percent in 2010. • The percentage of new CUNY students who enter as first-time freshmen (versus transfers) has been increasing: 61 percent in fall 2002 compared to 65 percent in fall 2010. Finally, the University is admitting greater numbers of both well-prepared and underprepared students at the same time. For example, mean SAT scores of regularly admitted first-time freshmen enrolled in baccalaureate programs have risen 42 points between 2008 and 2011. On the other hand, at the com- 12
INTRODUCTION munity colleges, 83 percent of all first-time freshmen entering in fall 2011 demonstrated some remedial need, and 19 percent exhibited remedial need in three subjects—significant increases from previous years that are only partially explained by increases in the remedial cutoff scores for mathematics. Senior Colleges Are Serving More of the Best-Prepared Students. Trends in Freshman Baccalaureate Enrollment by CAA Band* 10,000 5,000 1,125 4,565 1,775 6,147 2,623 6,993 90-100 80-89 70-79 Less than 70 3,257 3,282 2,274 0 2001 2006 2011 * Counts estimated based on poulation whose CAA is known Source: CUNY OIRA Together all of this information predicts that, as compared to current CUNY undergraduates, by the end of the period of the Master Plan, 2016, a higher proportion of CUNY undergraduates will be of color, will be traditional as compared to nontraditional students, and will have excellent qualifications for college. Although the proportion of students who need remediation is also growing, this Master Plan will detail several initiatives with the DOE designed to curtail that growth and, in fact, decrease the percentage of such students by 2016. 13
