Status: Target met
Progress: Undergraduate enrollment target exceeded. Negative trend away from target in the Educational Interpreter Program enrollment and the Graduate Program enrollment. Explanation: In fiscal year 2002, the number of Undergraduates increased beyond the target. The Educational Interpreter Program enrollment is below target. With more aggressive recruitment, the Institute is confident that the Educational Interpreter Programs enrollment will increase. The Graduate enrollment fell short its target, but increased over the fiscal year 2001 number. The fiscal year 2003 number of Undergraduates exceeded its target. The Educational Interpreter Program enrollment is below target primarily due to more rigorous entrance requirements since the program as elevated to a bachelor's level program last fall. With more aggressive recruitment, the Institute is confident that the Educational Interpreter enrollment will increase, but more slowly than originally anticipated. The graduate enrollment increased considerably over fiscal year 2002, but fell slightly short its target in fiscal year 2003. |
