FSU CDS 2024-2025

Common Data Set

The Common Data Set is maintained by the Office of Institutional Research. It contains valuable resources that have been put on-line for the purposes of convenience and reference. Universities everywhere are requested to provide statistics and information for numerous publications, surveys, and general inquiries. Although the source of each inquiry is different, the theme is similar, and we often answer the same questions repeatedly. Now, by the use of the world wide web, we can increase our efficiency by standardizing each response. This effort is a part of a growing trend by universities worldwide. Please use these surveys at your will for the purpose of obtaining information about the Florida State University.

If we can be of any further assistance, please contact us at ir@fsu.edu.

	• New guidance from IPEDS for reporting aggregate data:
	Racial/ethnic designations are requested only for United States citizens, residents, and other eligible non-citizens. Eligible non-citizens include all students who completed high school or a GED equivalency within the United States (including DACA and undocumented students) and who were not on an F-1 non-immigrant student visa at the time of high school graduation.
	More information about other eligible (for financial aid purposes) non-citizens is available at https://studentaid.gov/understandaid/eligibility/requirements/non-us-citizens.
	Nonresident - A person who is not a citizen or national of the United States and who is in this country on a student visa or temporary basis and does not have the right to remain indefinitely. Do not include DACA, undocumented, or other eligible noncitizens in this category.
	NOTE - Nonresidents are to be reported separately, in the boxes provided, rather than included in any of the seven racial/ethnic categories or in race/ethnicity unknown.
	Dual Enrollment: If your institution enrolls high school students in college courses for credit either within a dual enrollment program or outside of a dual enrollment program, you may report the unduplicated count as part of the non-degree-seeking students included in the “Total Undergraduates (both degree & non-degree-seeking)” section.

	B22. Retention Rates
	Report for the cohort of all full-time, first-time bachelor’s (or equivalent) degree-seeking undergraduate students who entered in Fall 2023 (or the preceding summer term).
	• The initial cohort may be adjusted for students who departed for the following reasons:
	* Death * Permanent Disability * Service in the armed forces * Foreign aid service of the federal government * Official church missions * No other adjustments to the initial cohort should be made.
B22	For the cohort of all full-time bachelor’s (or equivalent) degree-seeking undergraduate students who entered your institution as first-year students in Fall 2023 (or the preceding summer term), what percentage was enrolled at your institution as of the date your institution calculates its official enrollment in Fall 2024.					95.9%

	Total students retained = students from the Fall 2023 cohort who are still enrolled as of Fall 2024 + students from Fall 2023 cohort who completed their bachelor’s program as of Fall 2024

	(Students from the Fall 2023 cohort still enrolled as of Fall 2024 + Students from Fall 2023 cohort who completed their bachelor’s program as of Fall 2024)/(Adjusted Fall 2023 cohort) *100

	Note: The number of first-time students seeking a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) who attain a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) by their second fall term is expected to be zero or very small. In exceptional cases when a first-time student does satisfy all degree requirements including full credit completion (e.g., typically 120 credit hours) and is awarded a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) by their second fall term, they are to be considered “retained” for EF reporting purposes.

Indebtedness: Aggregate dollar amount borrowed through any loan program (federal, state, subsidized, unsubsidized, private, etc.; excluding parent loans) while the student was enrolled at an institution. Student loans co-signed by a parent are assumed to be the responsibility of the student and should be included.

Institutional scholarships and grants: Endowed scholarships, annual gifts and tuition funded grants for which the institution determines the recipient.

Financial need: As determined by your institution using the federal methodology and/or your institution's own standards.

Note: Suggested order of precedence for counting non-need money as need-based:

1. Non-need institutional grants

2. Non-need tuition waivers

3. Non-need athletic awards

4. Non-need federal grants

5. Non-need state grants

I. INSTRUCTIONAL FACULTY AND CLASS SIZE

I-1.	Please report the number of instructional faculty members in each category for Fall 2024. Include faculty who are on your institution’s payroll on the census date your institution uses for IPEDS/AAUP.
	The following definition of full-time instructional faculty is used by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) in its annual Faculty Compensation Survey (the part time definitions are not used by AAUP). Instructional Faculty is defined as those members of the instructional-research staff whose major regular assignment is instruction, including those with released time for research. Use the chart below to determine inclusions and exclusions:
									Full-time	Part-time
	A	Instructional faculty in preclinical and clinical medicine, faculty who are not paid (e.g., those who donate their services or are in the military), or research-only faculty, post-doctoral fellows, or pre-doctoral fellows							Exclude	Include only if they teach one or more non-clinical credit courses
	B	Administrative officers with titles such as dean of students, librarian, registrar, coach, and the like, even though they may devote part of their time to classroom instruction and may have faculty status							Exclude	Include if they teach one or more non-clinical credit courses
	C	Other administrators/staff who teach one or more non-clinical credit courses even though they do not have faculty status							Exclude	Include
	D	Undergraduate or graduate students who assist in the instruction of courses, but have titles such as teaching assistant, teaching fellow, and the like							Exclude	Exclude
	E	Faculty on sabbatical or leave with pay							Include	Exclude
	F	Faculty on leave without pay							Exclude	Exclude
	G	Replacement faculty for faculty on sabbatical leave or leave with pay							Exclude	Include

	Full-time instructional faculty: faculty employed on a full-time basis for instruction (including those with released time for research)
	Part-time instructional faculty: Adjuncts and other instructors being paid solely for part-time classroom instruction. Also includes full-time faculty teaching less than two semesters, three quarters, two trimesters, or two four-month sessions. Employees who are not considered full-time instruction faculty but who teach one or more non-clinical credit courses may be counted as part-time faculty.
	Minority faculty: includes faculty who designate themselves as Black, non-Hispanic; American Indian or Alaska Native; Asian, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, or Hispanic.
	Doctorate: includes such degrees as Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Education, Doctor of Juridical Science, and Doctor of Public Health in any field such as arts, sciences, education, engineering, business, and public administration. Also includes terminal degrees formerly designated as “first professional,” including dentistry (DDS or DMD), medicine (MD), optometry (OD), osteopathic medicine (DO), pharmacy (DPharm or BPharm), podiatric medicine (DPM), veterinary medicine (DVM), chiropractic (DC or DCM), or law (JD).
	Terminal master’s degree: a master’s degree that is considered the highest degree in a field: example, M. Arch (in architecture) and MFA (master of fine arts in art or theater).

I-1.								Full-Time	Part-Time	Total
	A	Total number of instructional faculty						1,626	403	2,029
	B	Total number who are members of minority groups						411	86	497
	C	Total number who are women						705	219	924

	G	Total number whose highest degree is a master’s but not a terminal master’s						63	106	169
	H	Total number whose highest degree is a bachelor’s						6	13	19
	I	Total number whose highest degree is unknown or other (Note: Items f, g, h, and i must sum up to item a.)						3	5	8
	J	Total number in stand-alone graduate/professional programs in which faculty teach virtually only graduate-level students

I-2.	Student to Faculty Ratio
	Report the Fall 2024 ratio of full-time equivalent students (full-time plus 1/3 part time) to full-time equivalent instructional faculty (full time plus 1/3 part time). In the ratio calculations, exclude both faculty and students in stand-alone graduate or professional programs such as medicine, law, veterinary, dentistry, social work, business, or public health in which faculty teach virtually only graduate level students.
	• Do not count undergraduate or graduate student teaching assistants as faculty.

	Fall 2024 Student to Faculty ratio					16.9	to 1	(based on	30,516	students
								and	1,808	faculty).
I-3.	Undergraduate Class Size
	In the table below, please use the following definitions to report information about the size of classes and class sections offered in the Fall 2024 term.

	Class Sections: A class section is an organized course offered for credit, identified by discipline and number, meeting at a stated time or times in a classroom or similar setting, and not a subsection such as a laboratory or discussion session. Undergraduate class sections are defined as any sections in which at least one degree-seeking undergraduate student is enrolled for credit. Exclude distance learning classes and noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one-to-one readings. Exclude students in independent study, co-operative programs, internships, foreign language taped tutor sessions, practicums, and all students in one-on-one classes. Each class section should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of course catalog cross-listings.
	Class Subsections: A class subsection includes any subsection of a course, such as laboratory, recitation, and discussion subsections that are supplementary in nature and are scheduled to meet separately from the lecture portion of the course. Undergraduate subsections are defined as any subsections of courses in which degree-seeking undergraduate students enrolled for credit. As above, exclude noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one-to-one readings. Each class subsection should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of cross-listings.
	Using the above definitions, please report for each of the following class-size intervals the number of class sections and class subsections offered in Fall 2024. For example, a lecture class with 800 students who met at another time in 40 separate labs with 20 students should be counted once in the “100+” column in the class section column and 40 times under the “20-29” column of the class subsections table.

J. Disciplinary areas of DEGREES CONFERRED

J1	Degrees conferred between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024
	For each of the following discipline areas, provide the percentage of diplomas/certificates, associate, and bachelor’s degrees awarded. To determine the percentage, use majors, not headcount (e.g., students with one degree but a double major will be represented twice). Calculate the percentage from your institution’s IPEDS Completions by using the sum of 1st and 2nd majors for each CIP code as the numerator and the sum of the Grand Total by 1st Majors and the Grand Total by 2nd major as the denominator. If you prefer, you can compute the percentages using 1st majors only.
