PREFACE Accurate information is basicto the planning and coordination of a sound and effective statewide system of higher education. This report is the second in the Board's annual series of comprehensive statistical reports on higher education in North Carolina. Information is provided in detail in 11 broad areas ranging from enrollment to student costs. Two new sections on student housing and financial statistics were included this year. The information presented in the report should be useful to planners and decision-makers in the colleges and universities, state agencies and the General Assembly, and to other interested persons and groups. This report is largely the result of the compilation and organiza- tion of statistical data provided by each institution to the Board of Higher Education or through the Higher Education General Information Survey to the United States Office of Education. Acknowledgement is extended to the institutions of higher education in North Carolina, pub- lic and private, which cooperated in providing statistical materials. Acknowledgement is made also to staff members of the Board of Higher Education for their analyses of data that made this publication possible. In particular, special mention is due Eun Sul Lee, the Board's director of statistical services, under whose direction the report was prepared.
