UT Austin - Statistical Handbook

UT Austin - Statistical Handbook 1998 - 1999
Preface
The Statistical Handbook 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:

Tables containing racial/ethnic data now include an unknown category.

Foreign exchange students are included in enrollment totals for the first time in Fall 1998. Therefore, the number and percentage of foreign students are higher in 1998 than in previous years.

Changes to departments include:
Speech Communication was divided into Speech Communication and Communication Sciences and Disorders.
American Studies changed from a center to a department.
Germanic Languages changed to Germanic Studies.
Slavic Languages changed to Slavic Languages and Literatures.
Changes to Programs included:
Creation of a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Public Relations in the College of Communication.
