FINAL
Enrollment as of the end of the day November 10, 2009

Atlanta Only
Includes students in Business, Education, Nursing, Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Theology, and Continuing & Professional Studies on the Atlanta Campus
Includes students with site codes of NE (Northeast Campus) and AC (Atlanta Center) (All of Pharmacy and Health Sciences students are included regardless of student site code.)

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.
