The comprehensive study, based on 1970 census data and other recent information from a variety of sources, provides assessment of trends and a projection of future States as well as the State of Ohio. Besides meeting the primary end objective of providing a basis for projecting enrollment needs in agriculture and natural resources in the College…

Two quantitative enrollment projection techniques and the methods used by researchers at the Ohio Board of Regents (OBR) are discussed. Two quantitative approaches that are typically used for enrollment projections are curve-fitting techniques and causal models. Many state forecasters use curve-fitting techniques, a popular approach because only…

The Annual Report of the Ohio Board of Regents for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1975 contains a report from the Chancellor, James A. Norton, regarding activities recommended by a Citizen's Task Force on Higher Education in a move toward higher education planning.
