Atlanta Programs Only
Includes programs in the Schools of Business, Education, Engineering, Pharmacy and Theology

This demographic profile provides student headcount and FTE statistics by:
- ethnicity,

- religious preference,
- geographic origin, and
- marital status.


May be duplicated counts.
Each valid program is counted; a student may have a valid matriculation at more than one level
and/or in more than one college.

KEY
FT = Full-Time Headcount
PT = Part-Time Headcount
N = Total Headcount
Hours = Hours Attempted
FTE = Full-Time Equivalent

FTE is calculated as follows:
Full-Time Students - FTE = 1.0
Part-Time Students - FTE = Hours Attempted/Full-Time Load Equivalent

Full-Time Load Equivalent and Full-Time/Part-Time status vary by school and program.
See individual school pages for more information.
