FERRIS STATE UNIVERSITY FACT BOOK 2001-02 February 2002 Dear Colleague: The Ferris State University Fact Book is a project conducted as a service to the University community by the Office of Institutional Research and Testing in the Division of Student Affairs. This eleventh edition is a document that is designed to answer the most frequently asked questions about FSU. In response to faculty and staff suggestions, we have enhanced the 2001-2002 Fact Book to include several new items, such as · Percent of students by ethnicity, page 37 · Pages numbered consecutively · Retention rates, page 61 Our appreciation is extended to the many offices that assisted us with the development of the information. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Thank you. Nina Worth Research Assistant Kristen Salomonson Assistant Dean of Enrollment Services Mitzi A.
