PREFACE
The University of North Carolina presents the twenty-ninth 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. 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.
