Raymund A. Paredes, COMMISSIONER OF HIGHER EDUCATION Mission, Vision, Philosophy, and Core Values Agency Mission The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board promotes access, affordability, quality, success, and cost efficiency in the state’s institutions of higher education, through Closing the Gaps and its successor plan, resulting in a globally competent workforce that positions Texas as an international leader in an increasingly complex world economy. Agency Vision The THECB will be recognized as an international leader in developing and implementing innovative higher education policy to accomplish our mission. Agency Philosophy The THECB will promote access to and success in quality higher education across the state with the conviction that access and success without quality is mediocrity and that quality without access and success is unacceptable. The Coordinating Board’s core values are: Accountability: We hold ourselves responsible for our actions and welcome every opportunity to educate stakeholders about our policies, decisions, and aspirations. Efficiency: We accomplish our work using resources in the most effective manner. Collaboration: We develop partnerships that result in student success and a highly qualified, globally competent workforce. Excellence: We strive for preeminence in all our endeavors. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age or disability in employment or the provision of services.

Enrollment Forecast 2015-2025 for Texas Colleges and Universities Biennially since 1979, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has calculated enrollment trends and expectations which are fundamental to higher education planning. In times of changing demographics like Texas is experiencing, these forecasts become even more critical as they inform the higher education community about anticipated enrollment if current enrollment patterns continue. The Enrollment Forecast 2015-2025 is the 19th installment in the Coordinating Board’s series on this important topic. Enrollment Forecast Process The methodology used to produce the Enrollment Forecast has remained relatively unchanged since 1979. For public colleges and universities, it uses five years of past enrollment from Texas counties differentiated by age and race/ethnicity and applies these enrollment rates to population projections prepared by the Texas State Data Center. Forecasts for independent colleges and universities are derived using simple linear regression, also based on five years of past data. The methodology for both public and independent institutions does not consider possible future changes that could affect enrollments, such as improvements in high school graduation rates, increases in higher education enrollment by racial/ethnic groups, or changes in local policies. For that reason, the Forecast is conservative; it projects future enrollments if current trends continue. The five years used to determine this Forecast are fall 2009 through fall 2013. The growth rate at public and independent colleges and universities from fall 2009 through fall 2011 was 7.5 percent, whereas the rate from fall 2011 to fall 2013 was -1.2 percent. In this Forecast, the effect of the recent slowing in enrollment is moderated by the faster growth rate from 2009 to 2011 and complicated by demographic changes. The Enrollment Forecast concludes that, if current patterns persist, Texas public and independent two-year and four-year institutions will grow from the 1.44 million enrollees in fall 2014 to 1.47 million in 2015 (or 500,000 students more than in 2000). To begin the process of planning and preparing for the years beyond 2015, this report also estimates enrollments through 2025, which are predicted to be 1.64 million. (See Tables 1 and 2.) The projections in this report are lower to comparable years from the January 2013 Forecast. The 1.47 million enrollments projected for 2015 are about 25 thousand lower than projected in 2013, and the 1.56 million students for 2020 is 16,000 less than the earlier 1.58 million estimate. For public universities, fall 2014 enrollment totaled 604,000 students, or 119,000 more students than in fall 2005. Enrollments are projected to grow by 10.5 percent to 616,000 students for the five-year period from 2010 to 2015, , by 6.9 percent to reach 659,000 students in 2020, and then by 5.5 percent to reach 695,000 by 2025.

Texas public two-year colleges have generally grown more rapidly than universities since the mid-1960s and are expected to continue to have more students than universities despite the declines experienced from 2011 to2014. Public colleges’ enrollment for fall 2014 totaled 716,000 students, an increase of about 150,000 students (26.6 percent) over fall 2005 enrollment. This Enrollment Forecast estimates a -2.0 percent enrollment decline at public colleges from 2010 to 2015 because of the decline in the most recent three years. The colleges’ pace of growth is anticipated to jump to 6.5 percent from 2015 to 2020. As a result of these increases, Texas public two-year colleges are expected to enroll about 775,000 students in 2020 and 816,000 in 2025. About 124,000 students enrolled in Texas’ independent colleges and universities in fall 2014. Independent college enrollments are forecast to grow to 127,000 in 2015, 130,000 in 2020, and 132,000 in 2025. No enrollment projections are made for health-related institutions because their enrollments are more closely tied to state policies than to state population changes, nor are projections made for career colleges because many lack a regional presence due to online offerings. Although not included in the forecast, Texas enrollments at these two institution types are included in the Closing the Gaps participation goal. With the inclusion of enrollments at the health-related institutions and career colleges, Texas is only about 35,000 students short of reaching its 2015 participation goal. Important Considerations The following points should be remembered when reviewing this Forecast: 

The Texas State Data Center (TSDC) periodically updates its population projections and reconsiders the migration scenarios that should be used for longterm projections. This Forecast uses the TSDC’s 2012 population projections and, on the recommendation of the data center, the 0.5 migration scenario, which assumes rates of net migration that are one-half of those from 2000 to 2010.

The total population projected for 2015 used in the current enrollment forecast is 27,000,199; 3.6 percent lower than the prior projections. For the college-going 15-34 age group, the projected population is 5.3 percent smaller than prior projections. Because the population forecast is an integral part of the projection methodology, the lower projected population has a direct effect on anticipated enrollments. The other primary factor influencing projected enrollment is recent enrollment trends. As mentioned previously, fall enrollment at public and independent colleges and universities grew by 7.5 percent from 2009 to 2011, followed by a decline of 1.2 percent increase from 2011 to 2013. The decline of the past three years at public two-year colleges has been tempered in these projections by the rapid growth in the earlier two years and the conservative nature of the Forecast methodology. The Forecast model is strongly influenced by historical in-state enrollment patterns at each institution and projected population changes by county. This Forecast should not accurately reflect future enrollment if institutions recruit students from different

2

geographic areas or ethnic groups, as is the goal of CTG. Institutional decisions to change or impose enrollment limitations would also reduce the Forecast’s accuracy. Economics affect enrollment. Two-year college enrollment has usually expanded in times of increasing unemployment, in part because students want to prepare for better jobs or jobs in different fields. The early years of this five-year forecast were no exception to this phenomenon. However, the last few years have shown what has happened many times before; when the economy comes back many students, especially at the two-year level, bypass higher education for the workforce.
