LOGOLOGO

FAEIS Origins Was started in 1983 and managed by Texas

A&M. 1983 was only two years after the invention of

the Internet. Ronald Reagan was President. Record of the years was “Rosanna” by Toto. Best Picture was “E.T, the Extra-Terrestrial”

Original Purpose: Current enrollment and placement data.


LOGOLOGO

Texas A&M: 1983-1999 Texas A&M did not have such a thing as a database.

• This is quite understandable, given the times!

FAEIS data were in individual files. • A file consisted of a single program within a department,

within a single college, and within a single university.• Hundreds of files per year, accumulating each year.• Eventually, a gigantic mound of files that had to be individually

examined to create any enrollment table.

Y2K became an insurmountable issue for Texas A&M.• Their program for creating the files was not Y2K complaint.

Texas A&M officially ceased their support of FAEIS in late 1999.

FAEIS Data- An Historical View


LOGOLOGO

What is FAEIS? FAEIS compiles nationwide higher education

data for the life, food, veterinary, human, natural resource, and agricultural sciences.

These data include: Student enrollment, degrees awarded and placement

at all degree levels and by gender and race. Faculty counts and salaries by race/ethnicity, gender,

rank and discipline.


LOGOLOGO

FAEIS Can Help Our Clientele… Learn about enrollment trends, emerging disciplines, student

placement, and faculty salaries. Study these data by discipline, institution or even institution type

(1862, 1890, 1994, Non-Land-Grant Colleges). Create custom reports for use in planning and proposals. Use the FAEIS database to conduct comparisons with peer

institutions. Discover the new and emerging disciplines in colleges similar to

yours. Understand how colleges and universities nationwide are organized,

and how ‘agriculture’ is being redefined to include a broad array of disciplines.


LOGOLOGO

FAEIS Versus IPEDS IPEDS has graduation data but no current

enrollment data. FAEIS has both current enrollment and

graduation data. Our clients want current data- “what is going on now”
