Academic Department Profile

The Department Profile report is designed to provide accurate and consistently defined program information on UNC Asheville academic departments. This report should be useful in resource allocation decisions, program planning, and assessment activities. The report includes five-year data comparisons on the following areas:

• Operating and salary expenditures
• Faculty resources
• Teaching activity
• Majors
• Advising activity
• Degrees awarded

The Department Profile report also provides comparisons of faculty FTE resources allocated with the number of faculty FTE positions generated based on the student credit hours (SCH) taught by the department. Departmental faculty FTE are adjusted to account for administrative assignments outside the home department as defined by Academic Affairs. These adjustments are listed in the Appendix. In 2006-07, the departmental FTE count was reduced to account for chair duties. The FTE generated figure is based on the formula used by UNC-GA to allocate enrollment growth funding as described in the Appendix. In 2007-08, the report was modified to include fundable distance education faculty FTE and SCH. Distance education courses taught under contract with another institution are not included in the report as the resulting SCH do not generate tuition/fees or state appropriations. The comparisons include five years of data to provide comprehensive view of each department.
