UT Austin - Statistical Handbook 1996 - 1997

Preface
The Statistical Handbook 1996-1997 is designed to provide University administrators and faculty with accurate and consistent information about UT Austin's student, faculty, staff, and financial characteristics. In many cases the information is disaggregated to program or department levels to facilitate use in policy making at these levels. Data for up to ten years are included where possible so that significant trends can be identified.

There have been few revisions to this year's Handbook. Revisions include the following:

  1. The College of Engineering added a doctoral level program in Operations Research and Industrial Engineering. The reorganization of the Oriental and African Languages area in the College of Liberal Arts is reflected in this year's Handbook. There was a redistribution of courses and faculty between Asian Studies (Center and Department), the Center for Middle Eastern Studies, and the Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures. A fifth Intercollegial Program, in Neuroscience (Master's of Science and Doctor of Philosophy), was also added.

  2. Where possible, data for Ethnic Studies are divided into African & African American Studies and Mexican American studies. No differentiation is possible for student enrollment or degrees conferred.

  3. Beginning Summer 1996, Special Professional semester credit hours are reported for the Pharm. D. program. Some upper division courses are reassigned to master's level, and some master's and doctoral level courses are reassigned to Special Professional.

  4. Beginning in 1996-97, faculty salary data for UT Austin include benefit replacement pay. These funds were previously part of staff benefits.

The Office of Institutional Research is in the process of publishing the Statistical Handbook 1996-1997 on the internet. At this time, the 1995-96 Handbook is available electronically; the 1996-97 version will be available in early Spring 1997. The Handbook is part of the OIS homepage:
