In‐Territory, 73.8%
NOTE: The category "F-1 International" does not include all students who come to the College from other countries or with substantial international experience. For example, "permanent residents" who may be asylees or refugees are counted as “In-Territory" or "Out-of-Territory" rather than "F- 1 International" depending on residence at the time of application. These students are eligible for federal financial aid that F-1 International students cannot legally receive. In Fall 2017, fifty-seven (57) Berea College students were designated as "permanent residents." Also, there are six F-1 International students enrolled as exchange students (non-degree-seeking) this fall.

DEFINITIONS OF TERRITORY CATEGORIES
Berea College students are characterized at term of entry by one of three "geographical" categories. They are:
In-Territory: Students who come from much of the Appalachian region and all of Kentucky within the blue area in the map below. In-Territory also includes permanent residents (a non- citizen who has formally established residency in the U.S.) and refugees who reside in the territory.
Out-of-Territory: Students who come from outside the In-Territory area, including U.S. Citizens living in foreign countries. Out-of-Territory also includes permanent residents (a non-citizen who has formally established residency in the U.S.) and refugees who reside out of the territory.
F-1 International: Students who are not U.S. Citizens, permanent residents, or refugees; these are students who are attending the College under an F-1 visa issued by the U.S. Department of State.

*Denotes In‐Territory county. APPALACHIAN REGIONAL COMMISSION (ARC)
The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) is a regional economic development agency that represents a partnership of federal, state, and local government. Established by an act of Congress in 1965, ARC is composed of the governors of the 13 Appalachian states and a federal co-chair, who is appointed by the president. Local participation is provided through multi-county local development districts.
The Appalachian Region, as defined in ARC's authorizing legislation, is a 205,000-square-mile region that follows the spine of the Appalachian Mountains from southern New York to northern Mississippi. It includes all of West Virginia and parts of 12 other states: Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. Forty-two percent of the Region's population is rural, compared with 20 percent of the national population.
The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) uses an index-based county economic classification system to identify and monitor the economic status of Appalachian counties. The system involves the creation of a national index of county economic status through a comparison of each county's averages for three economic indicators—three-year average unemployment rate, per capita market income, and poverty rate—with national averages. The resulting values are summed and averaged to create a composite index value for each county. Each county in the nation is then ranked, based on its composite index value, with higher values indicating higher levels of distress.
County Economic Levels
Each Appalachian county is classified into one of five economic status designations, based on its position in the national ranking.
Distressed: Distressed counties are the most economically depressed counties. They rank in the worst 10 percent of the nation's counties.
At-Risk: At-Risk counties are those at risk of becoming economically distressed. They rank between the worst 10 percent and 25 percent of the nation's counties.
