Admissions Admissions selectivity and yield. Selectivity is a measure of how many students were accepted by the College compared to how many applied. Competitive institutions have low selectivity rates. Even though the selectivity rate of the College increased slightly from 2012 to 2013, it remained low and thus the College remains very selective in admissions. Admissions yield refers to the number of applicants who start a program compared to the number of students who were accepted. Over the last five years, approximately ¾ of students who have been accepted have enrolled in the College.

Distance Education The rise in Distance Education course offerings continued during 2013. As technology has improved and student expectations have changed, the number of classes taught in a traditional way has declined dramatically. From 2009 to 2013, the number of traditional courses taught has decreased 89.6%. There are four types of courses taught at the College: traditional, web-enhanced, hybrid, and online. •
Traditional Course: no online technology is used for the course.
•
Web-Enhanced Course: traditional course that meets in the classroom for all of regularly scheduled class time, but uses web-based technology for purposes of supplementing the course by publishing course materials, facilitating discussions, extending office hours, posting course grades, etc.
•
Hybrid Course: any course that replaces a portion of regularly schedule class time with online activities (i.e., less than 100% but more than 0% of course activities are completed online).
•
Online Course: any course taught 100% online with no required meetings.
