|
Explanation: This goal focuses on the total enrollment, as year-to-year shifts in specific programs may result in the individual targets either being exceeded or not met. There are also human and physical resource limitations to the number of students NTID can serve. The undergraduate program and Educational Interpreter program enrollments are below target primarily due to more rigorous entrance requirements. More aggressive recruitment efforts have paid off in the Educational Interpreter Program and NTID expects the same results next year with undergraduate programs. |

Explanation: Placement rate data are reported the year after graduation. The Institute believes that a 95 percent placement rate represents an appropriate ongoing target, but economic conditions have deteriorated to a point where it is affecting students' ability to find permanent placement. The placement rates are calculated as the percentage of graduates who are employed among those who want to be employed. Those individuals who continue their education or who are not seeking employment, for whatever reasons, in the respective years are not included. The Bureau of Labor Statistics uses this same methodology. |
