Student December 10 Nationality by Geographical 2013

This report contains information pertaining to student nationality and Office of student country of origin analysis. Student nationalities were condensed and Institutional categorized under 5 broad regional categories: , , , , and . Each geographical region was disaggregated by sub- and Research and country by sub-region. Assessment The Nationality by Geographical Region report was created to highlight the nationalities of our student population since fall 2010. In order to present a cohesive report on student nationalities that isn’t bogged down by too much detail, the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment condensed the data by creating broader categories, or geographical regions that individual nations can be grouped under. These geographical regions are consistent with the United Nations Geoscheme by the United Nations Statistics division. The United Nations Statistics Division has divided the world into macro- geographical regions and sub-regions based on M49 coding classification. These geographical codes were incorporated into the report to prevent subjectivity in a field that is highly sensitive to outside reviewers. The M49 coding in its most condensed form is as follows:

002 Africa 014 Eastern Africa 017 Middle Africa 015 Northern Africa 018 011 Western Africa

019 Americas

009 Oceania 053 and New Zealand 054 057 061 This report will present data at the highest aggregate of the student body (total student population), which includes degree-seeking and non-degree seeking students. This aggregate repot was further broken down into degree-seeking students, degree-seeking students by degree level, and degree- seeking students by academic major. The segment of the report that deals with the total student population aggregate was broken down by geographical region, and country by geographical region. The portion of the report that is devoted to degree-seeking students only was broken down by degree level, and academic majors.

This report can serve many purposes and can be very informative to many departments at University of the West. In order to further serve our mission that highlights the “whole-person,” East-West,” and “diversity,” we need to ensure that our students are given the opportunity to practice these values that derive from our mission. The demographic composition of our student body is one factor that can contribute to a student’s exposure, understanding and acceptance of our mission. Secondly, this report can benefit our recruiting efforts by pinpointing which geographical regions have student enrollment increased, which geographical regions have student enrollment decreased, and lastly, which geographical regions or sub-regions have still been untapped by our marketing efforts.

Lastly, this report includes a few mathematical equations. These equations were used to calculate linear growth rates and average annual growth rates between fall 2010 and fall 2013. Linear growth rates were tabulated for both student headcount and for the ratio of student segments to the total student population figures. Calculating a growth rate for student headcount illustrates the percentage increase in student enrollment over time. Note that this mathematical equation becomes obsolete when zero is included. Thus, N/A or not applicable will be inserted whenever headcount figures are zero. Calculating growth rates for ratios and percentages is more dynamic in that it includes the overall growth rate into its calculation. For example, our Asian student population might have increased by 38% since 2010, however, as a percentage of the total student population they had actually declined by -14%. This output is telling us that a different student segment is growing faster than the Asian student population, and that Asian students are making up less of our student population.

Data Analysis

Total Student Headcount:

Students from the Americas (117%) and Europe (133%, 3- 7) exhibited the biggest increase since 2010. Additionally, students from the Americas now represent nearly 39% of our total student population (36% increase since 2010), and students from Europe make up nearly 2% (a 46% increase since fall 2010).

The Asian student population increased by 38% since 2010; however, as a percentage of the total population, they decreased from 67% to 58% (-14% change). Africa was the only geographical region that saw a decrease in the number of students enrolled since fall 2010, albeit, only by one student.

Asia by geographical Region:

Four Asian sub-regions saw an increase in student enrollment since 2010; however, Central Asia remained constant at one student.

The number of students from South-Eastern Asia and Western Asia experienced the largest increase since 2010, 90% and 400% (1 5) respectfully.

Southern Asia grew by only 10% since 2010, after Central Asia that is the second slowest growth rate for any student segment in Asia.

South Eastern Asia increased as a percentage of the region, increasing from 14% to 19% (+39%).

Eastern Asia by Country:

The number of students from China and Taiwan increased by +43% and 26% respectfully.

The number of Korean students decreased since fall 2010 (-40%).

Chinas as a percentage of the Eastern Asia region gained the most ground since fall 2010, increasing its share of the pie by nearly +11%.

Southern Asia by Country:

India and Nepal both experienced a decrease in the number of students since fall 2010.

The number of students from Sri Lanka increased by nearly +350% since fall 2010. Additionally, Sri Lankan students now make up 82% of the total students coming from Southern Asia.

South Eastern Asia by Country:

Thailand (+300%) and Vietnam (129%) both experienced a strong increase in the number of students enrolled. In 2010, Thai students represented only 14% of the total students from South Eastern Asia; they now own 30% of the pie (+110%).

Western Asia by Country:

The number of students from Western Asia increase from 1 in fall 2010 to 5 in fall 2013. Our Western Asian students come from Iran and Qatar.

Americas by Sub-region:

A student from the Caribbean’s has never enrolled at UWest.

The number of students from Central America increased from 0 in fall 2010, to 9 in fall 2013. This was mostly due to the number of Mexican students that enrolled (0  8 in three years).

The number of students from increased by +103% since fall 2010. U.S. citizens increased by +103% since 2010, by far the largest increase of any sub-group.

Europe by Region:

The number of students from Europe increased from 3 to 7 students since fall 2010. However, we actually had more European students enrolled in fall 2012 than we do now in 2013.

Students from Northern and Southern Europe witnessed the only increase of this region. Degree Seeking Students

Nationality by Geographical Region:

The number of students from the Americas increased by +121% since 2010, and they now represent nearly 46% of the total degree-seeking student population (+43%). This increase was largely due to an increase in the number of undergraduate students that enrolled from the Americas. Since fall 2010, 33 new students from the Americas enrolled as undergraduate students. That is a 236% increase, by far the largest increase of any group (not including student segments with an initial enrollment that was less than 10 students) at UWest since fall 2010.

The number of students from Asia increased by 25% since fall 2010; However, the number of Asian students as a percentage of the total degree-seeking student population decreased by -19% since fall 2010. They now make up only 51% of the population compared to 63% in fall 2010.

In 2010, Asian students represented nearly 70% of undergraduate students, and the Americas accounted for 29% of the population. However, in 2013, the Asian student population now only represents 40% of the undergraduate student population, and the Americas now account for nearly 60% of the pie.

From fall 2010 to fall 2013, we did not have one student from Africa or the Oceana region enroll as an undergraduate student at UWest, and we had only 1 European student enroll in 2010.

The number of African students enrolled in graduate level programs decreased since fall 2010. Since fall 2010, African students have enrolled in graduate level courses only (zero have enrolled neither in undergraduate level programs nor as an NDS status). The number of students from the Americas and Asia increased 87% and 38% respectfully. However, the proportion of Asian students to degree-seeking students has decreased from 61% to 55% since fall 2010 (-10%). This was caused by the growing number of students from the Americas, Europe, and to an extent, the Oceania region

Degree-Seeking Students by Geographical Region and Country:

The number of students from China increased from 50 to 64 since fall 2010 (+28%).

The number of Taiwanese students decreased from 28 to 19 in 2011; however, we witnessed a slight increase in 2012 and 2013 of Taiwanese students since fall 2011.

The number of South Korean students decreased from 8 to 5 since 2010 (-38%).

We now have zero students from Nepal compared to 4 students in 2010.

In 2010, 4 Indian students were enrolled, but now, we have only 1 Indian student.

In 2013, we had our first Iranian students enroll.

From 2010 to 2013 we did not have a student from Pakistan.

Students from Sri Lanka increased from 2 in 2010 to 9 in 2013 (+350%).

Out of all the Asian regions, South Eastern Asia witnessed the largest increase in student enrollment since 2010 (85%). Thailand and Vietnam led the charge with growth rates of 300% and 100% respectfully.

We did not have one student enroll from Laos, and only one student enrolled from Indonesia from 2010 to 2013.
