 Print Version Fact Book

The KSU Fact Book is a compendium of statistical data, trend analyses, and interpretative highlights on a wide variety of topics pertaining to the operation of Kennesaw State University. Its contents are designed to inform its readers, answer the most frequently asked questions about KSU, and support institutional planning and evaluation. It is updated, improved, and published annually by the Office of Institutional Research in KSU's Center for Institutional Effectiveness. A note of congratulations is due to the Fact Book Team, which consists of everyone in the department. The KSU 2005-06 Fact Book and the IR web site took top honors at the annual meeting at the Southern Association of Institutional Research in October 2006.

The Fact Book is in its 20th year of production. The first edition was published in 1987-88 in response to suggestions from SACS/COC during KSU's review for reaffirmation of accreditation in 1986. Since that first publication, the fact book has been expanded in scope and published in different modalities. Editions have been available on the Web since 1996. Professionally printed editions of the Fact Book were discontinued several years ago as a cost-saving measure. However, print options are available for selected pages, full sections, or the entire document, at http://ir.kennesaw.edu.

The data presented in the Fact Book are captured and maintained daily in the electronic information systems of numerous administrative offices at KSU. Consequently, many of the Fact Book's analyses would not be possible without these important contributions of colleagues and support staff campus-wide. In that regard, the information management and technical expertise provided by Paul Hearn, Tomek Skurzak, Erik Bowe, and the institutional research contributions of Donna Hutcheson, Rommy Lane, and Carol Rosenthal deserve special recognition and were invaluable in the preparation and publication of the 2006-2007 edition. This year is the earliest release we have ever had and that is entirely the result of a highly professional and driven team. To them, we say thank you.

KSU aspires to be a leader in and have a model program of Institutional Research and Information Management as well as Institutional Effectiveness. Please note that many more useful information resources beyond those published in the Fact Book are also available at http://ir.kennesaw.edu. It is our pleasure to present the 2006-2007 KSU Fact Book.
