Mercer University
DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE - Fall Semester 2002

FINAL
Enrollment as of the end of the day November 7, 2002

Atlanta Programs Only
Includes programs in Business, Education, Nursing, Pharmacy and Theology

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