1) Executive Overview
For the vast majority of colleges and universities, financial sustainability
depends on maintaining or growing enrollment. A range of demographic,
economic and competitive trends, however, indicate that sustaining enrollment over
the next decade will become increasingly difficult. This diagnostic is intended to
identify the top enrollment opportunities and risks facing the University of
Wisconsin, Superior as the beginning of a process of building a comprehensive
strategy.
The University of Wisconsin, Superior is one of the slowest-growing
universities among profiled institutions. From 2003 to 2013, the University of
Wisconsin, Superior ranked third-to-last in total enrollment growth. During this time,
enrollment decreased by more than six percent. The two institutions that experienced
greater enrollment declines than the University were Shepherd University and Fort
Lewis College. The majority of enrollment declines at the University of Wisconsin,
Superior are due to declines in graduate enrollment; during this time, graduate
enrollment decreased by 30 percent, while undergraduate enrollment decreased by
one percent.
The University of Wisconsin, Superior enrolls lower percentages of black,
Hispanic, and Asian students than peer institutions. Although the enrollment of
minority students remains a growth opportunity for all profiled institutions, the
University of Wisconsin, Superior enrolls a greater proportion of white students than
peer institutions. However, the University has capitalized on the international student
market more successfully than peers, as international student enrollment composed
six percent of total student enrollment in 2013, compared to two percent at peer
institutions.
First-year students who come from families that earn between $48K and
$110K compose nearly half of total first year enrollments at the University of
Wisconsin, Superior. Combined, first year students from these income brackets
composed 48 percent of first year enrollments in 2012, compared to 35 percent at
peers. However, peer institutions are more dependent on the enrollment of first year
students that come from families that earn at least $110K than the University of
Wisconsin, Superior.
The two most popular bachelor’s degrees at the University of Wisconsin,
Superior are business and education. In 2013, the combined completions of these
two degrees composed 37 percent of total bachelor’s degree completions. Although
the University of Wisconsin, Superior completes a greater percentage of students in at
least six bachelor’s degrees, peers offer some undergraduate degrees that the
University does not; the most popular of these is general/liberal sciences.
More bachelor’s degrees are experiencing growth at peer institutions than
the University of Wisconsin, Superior. Enrollment in six of 14 bachelor’s degrees
declined at the University of Wisconsin, Superior from 2011 to 2013, whereas four of
17 bachelor’s degrees declined at peers during this time. Notably, the most popular
bachelor’s degrees at the University, business and education, were not the fastest-
growing bachelor’s degrees from 2011 to 2013.
Peers offer more master’s degrees than the University of Wisconsin,
Superior. The University of Wisconsin, Superior offers three master’s programs,
whereas peer institutions offer more than 10 master’s degrees. The most popular
master’s degree at all profiled institutions is education. However, the University of
Wisconsin, Superior, is more dependent on this master’s degree than peers; in 2013
Key
Observations
5. ©2015 The Advisory Board Company 5 eab.com
the master’s in education composed 75 percent of total master’s degree completions
compared to 45 percent at peers.
Similar to trends in bachelor degree growth, more master’s degrees are
growing at peer institutions than the University of Wisconsin, Superior. From
2011 to 2013, the master’s degrees in education and arts experienced declines at the
University, and the enrollment in master’s in communications and journalism were
stable. At profiled peer institutions, the master’s-level business programs are one of
the most popular master’s degrees, and this degree experienced the greatest change
in the number of absolute completions during this time.

As other funding sources come under pressure, universities are all becoming more
dependent on tuition revenue. At the same time, changing demographic patterns and
increasing competition for highly sought after student groups threatens traditional
enrollment patterns.
Undergraduate enrollment remains the core at most institution but faces the greatest
challenges over the next decade. The first section looks at overall enrollment growth
compared to peer institutions, comparing growth in undergraduate enrollment versus
graduate enrollment. Changes in undergraduate enrollment are analyzed by age,
race, ethnicity, family income, and state origin. Finally, student success rates are
compared across racial and ethnic groups.
Master’s enrollment offers the greatest potential for revenue growth for most
institutions. The second section analyzes master’s degree completions by discipline
comparing the University of Wisconsin, Superior’s portfolio and growth drivers to
those of peer institutions. The report concludes with a list of EAB research reports
related to the specific challenges and opportunities identified.
Peer Selection
The EAB custom research team provided a peer group:
• Eastern Connecticut State University
• Fort Lewis College
• Henderson State University
• Midwestern State University
• Shepherd University
• St. Mary’s College of Maryland
• The Evergreen State College
• University of Mary Washington
• University of Minnesota, Morris
• University of North Carolina at Asheville
See Section 5) Research Methodology for peer institutions’ classifications, regional
characteristics, and enrollment numbers, as well as for the selectivity data used in
determining the peer groups.
Data Sources
The majority of the data included in this report was gathered and published by the
Institute of Education Sciences’ Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System
(IPEDS). Complete data may not be available for every institution. It should also be
noted that the IPEDS degree completions data builds on Classification of Instructional
Program (CIP) codes, which were revised in 1990, 2000 and 2010. As a result, our
completions analyses rely on crosswalks that enable longitudinal comparisons of
completions. While these crosswalks allow us to track CIP codes that were changed, a
fraction of CIP codes were created or deleted with each revision.
This report also includes the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education’s
Knocking at the College Door high school graduate forecasts.

The analyses in this report use the latest data; enrollment data is available through
2003-2013, and degree completions data is available through 2011-2013. Please note
that the dates in the report refer to the spring semester of the year in question; thus,
2013 refers to the 2012-2013 academic year.

Peer Institutions Enroll More Transfer Students than the
University of Wisconsin, Superior
From 2007 to 2013, the University of Wisconsin, Superior experienced decreased
enrollment of all major student segments. However, increasing the enrollment of
major student segments remains a growth opportunity for all profiled institutions.

adults aged 25 and older during this time, peers experienced declines in enrollment of
this student segment by 16 more percentage points.
The recruitment of transfer students remains a growth opportunity for the University
of Wisconsin, Superior; peers capitalized on this market by increasing the enrollment
of transfer students by three percent, yet the enrollment of transfer students at the
University of Wisconsin, Superior decreased by 10 percent during this time.

The University of Wisconsin, Superior Enrolls a Greater
Percentage of International Students than Peers
Demographic projections show that the number of white high school graduates will
decline over the next decade, while Hispanic students (and to a lesser degree Asian
students) are anticipated to increase significantly.
Enrollment of black, Hispanic, and Asian peers remains a growth opportunity for all
profiled institutions. However, the University of Wisconsin, Superior enrolled
these minorities at lower proportions than peers in 2013. The University of Wisconsin,
Superior enrolled international students by four more percentage points than peers
during this time.

The University of Wisconsin, Superior has Lower 6-year
Graduation Rates for White, Black, and Hispanic Students
than Peers
Student success is a priority for all institutions, and as demographic patterns shift,
populations with historically lower completion rates are projected to increase,
threatening to reduce overall completion rates.
Peer institutions had greater six-year graduation rates for white, black, Hispanic, and
Asian students than the University of Wisconsin, Superior in 2011. However, the
University of Wisconsin, Superior had higher six-year graduation rates for
Asian/Pacific Islander and American Indian/Alaskan students than peers during this
time.

The University of Wisconsin, Superior Enrolled a Higher
Proportion of Middle Income and Wealthy Students than
Peers in 2012
Tuition-dependent colleges and universities tend to enroll a larger share of high-
income students than publics, and these students are often critical to financial
sustainability. However, increasing competition for this segment will make
maintaining that enrollment a challenge. The graph below displays the income level of
the University of Wisconsin, Superior’s first-time, full-time freshmen who receive
Title IV financial aid.
The University of Wisconsin, Superior enrolled a greater proportion of first year
students from families that earn between $48K and $110K than peers in 2012.
Combined, enrollment of students from these income levels composed 48 percent of
first year students during this time. Notably, peers enrolled a higher proportion of
first year students from families that earned $110K or more during this time by 13
percentage points.
First year students that came from families that earned $48K or less composed 20
percent of first year enrollment at all profiled institutions in 2012.

IPEDS only collects family income data for those students who receive federal grants or student loans (i.e., Title IV aid). This represents
about 50% of all students at public universities and 58% at private, non-profit institutions (doctorate-granting), according to NCES
analysis. Since students who do not receive Title IV aid are more likely to be high-income, our analysis produces income distribution
estimates that are biased downward; that is, an institution’s real income distribution is likely to be more skewed towards wealthy students
than this graph suggests.
