3Statistical Profile of New Brunswick’s Publicly Funded Universities | Academic Year 2010 – 2011
Introduction
This statistical profile was developed in consultation with staff of New Brunswick’s four publicly funded universities, the Maritime Provinces Higher Education Commission (MPHEC), and the Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour (PETL) for the 2010 – 2011 academic year.
This profile is designed to provide insight into the publicly funded university system in New Brunswick and thus facilitate policy development by institutions and governments and alignment of future priorities in the sector. It provides a baseline by which to measure progress in years to come and a source for key performance indicators for the sector. It achieves this by consolidating and simplifying existing information regarding the sector and by making it accessible to a wide audience.
The data that forms the basis of this document has been obtained from the Canadian Association of University Business Officers (CAUBO) and the Maritime Provinces Higher Education Commission (MPHEC), and is publicly available. It has been compiled by PETL staff. Readers may wish to access more detailed data through any of the aforementioned agencies.

11Statistical Profile of New Brunswick’s Publicly Funded Universities | Academic Year 2010 – 2011
DefinitionsA) For Figures 1 and 5; regarding enrolment characteristics and credential awarded.
Full-time Undergraduate Student: A person who is enrolled in a program of study who is taking at least 60% of the normal course work associated with a program year.
Part-time Undergraduate Student: A person who is enrolled part-time in courses which are normally recognized by the institution as acceptable credits towards an approved degree, certificate or diploma program. The part-time undergraduate student is a person taking less than 60% of the normal course work associated with a program year.
Full-time Graduate Student: A person who is enrolled in a program of study who makes substantial demands upon the resources of an institution such as enrolling in courses and/or engaging in research or writing a thesis under continuing supervision.
Part-time Graduate Student: A person who is enrolled part-time at an institution in an approved graduate degree, certificate or diploma program. Part-time graduate students fall into two main categories: • Students who have completed their required course work and who are writing their thesis; and,• Students who have not completed their course work and are presently taking courses and/or working on
their thesis.
Credentials awarded: The number of credentials (bachelor/first professional, undergraduate certificate/diploma, masters, graduate certificate/diploma and doctorate) granted by the institution.
B) For figures 6, 7 and 8; related to participation profiles.
Direct entry rate: Number of first year direct entry (determined by proxy: age ≤ 18 years as of December 31st) full-time students in year n divided by the number of high school graduates in year n-1.
Home Province: Students studying within their province of residents.
Home Province participation rate: Number of students enrolled full-time in their home province by the provincial population aged 18 – 24.
C) For figure 2; related to persistence and graduation.
Persistence is defined as the percent of the cohort that enrolled in the same institution in subsequent years, regardless of registration status or field of study. That is, the changed programs. Students who “stop out” (i.e., leave the institution for a year or more but return) are counted when they re-enroll, with the exception of students who complete a degree and enroll again at the same institution. Persistence is measured in the fall term.
Graduation rate: Percent of direct entry students completing a 4-year bachelor degree within 6 years.
D) For figures 3, 4, 9 and 10; related to graduate follow up survey.
Employment rate: The number of graduates employed during the reference week expressed as a percentage of the total number of graduates in the labour force.
Employment outcomes: Mean annualized earnings of first-degree holders (among those employed full-time).
Retention rate in province: Proportion of New Brunswick graduates residing in the province two years after completing their first degree (based on residence 12 months prior to admission to first degree).
Student satisfaction: Percentage of students who would chose the same institution if they could do it over again.
Student assessment of quality of instruction: Percentage of students who rated the quality of teaching in their program positively (most of the student’s classes).
