With a student enrollment that mirrors the demographics of the region it serves, UTEP is making a significant contribution to the State's Hispanic student participation goals articulated in " Gaps. Reinforcing UTEP's impact on the State's higher education participation and success goals is the fact that 50% of the freshman students at UTEP in Fall 2015 were first- generation college students, and 55% of the graduates in 2014-2015 were first-generation college graduates, confirming UTEP s success in graduating Hispanic students, both transfers and first-time freshmen. Full-Time Equivalent Enrollment 2. Fall semester credit hours (SCH) includes undergraduate(15), master's(12), doctoral(9), special-professional(12), and optometry(17).

This growth in SCH has occurred in the context of a dramatic increase in the number of baccalaureate degrees awarded each year (95% growth between FY 2000 and ). The increase in graduate-level credit hour production since Fall 2000 reflects UTEP s success in creating additional post-baccalaureate opportunities for residents of the greater El Paso region, and a growing understanding by UTEP s largely first-generation and working-class students of the importance of pursuing graduate and professional degrees.

As a result of UTEP s highly successful student success initiatives, there was an 95% increase in undergraduate degrees awarded between 2000 and 2015. Despite this progress, the graduation-rate metric will continue to grossly understate UTEP s success in fostering student degree completion. Degrees and certificates awarded 10.

In addition, these same obligations often lead to re-locations related to job transfers and military re-assignments. The combined graduation/persistence measure recognizes this reality, and provides a means of tracking UTEP students who are enrolled in, and may graduate from, other public or independent universities in the State. However, to be more useful, such a measure would have to extend far beyond Texas university data. Persistence-rate data that do not extend beyond six years also fail to capture those UTEP students who persist well after that.

Tenured/tenure-track faculty teaching lower-division SCH 47.7% 29.1% 26.8% - 20.9 The ratio reflects the fact that state funding has not kept pace with UTEP's enrollment and graduate program growth, leading to a greater reliance on full- and part-time, non-tenure-track faculty to teach lower- division courses. These Lecturers are well qualified to teach lower-division courses, and meet all accreditation requirements. Student/Faculty Ratio 34.

Quality Enhancement Plan, Including Reaffirmation Year UTEP s Quality Enhancement Plan, developed and approved as part of the 2006 reaffirmation of accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, is a Student Success Initiative focused on: (a) curriculum review and renewal of all undergraduate degree programs and the University s general education core curriculum, with the goal of sustaining efficient and purposeful pathways for students to master general college level knowledge and proficiencies as well as specific fields of study (major) knowledge, skills, and dispositions; and (b) academic and career advising redesign to provide students with effective personal and career guidance. Continuous curriculum renewal and effective student advising and mentoring are central to UTEP s mission of providing students access to excellent educational programs. Link: http://sacs.utep.edu/portals/1315/files/qualityenhancementplan.pdf Excellent Programs 38. Excellent Programs Highlighted Excellent Programs 1 The On-Campus Student Employment Program provides undergraduate students meaningful employment that contributes directly to their career objectives and supports the retention and student success efforts of the university. Students are actively engaged in research labs, serve as peer leaders and tutor in subjects such as math, chemistry and physics. The innovative program is based on competitive proposals submitted by campus departments and reviewed annually by a committee of students, faculty and staff. Positions selected must provide professional development that benefits students in their careers beyond UTEP. Each department is required to cost-share 25% of the student s wages which further expands the reach of the program across campus. A recent institutional study found that students employed on campus, for 19 hours a week or less, enhanced their success, lowered their Accountability System, January 2016 16 of 23

risk of attrition and increased the probability of timely graduation. The On-Campus Student Employment Program is a proven example of an effective and efficient, student-centered effort that reinforces UTEP s mission of providing access and excellence to a traditionally under-served student demographic. Highlighted Excellent Programs 2 Undergraduate research impacts student learning, retention, graduation rates, interest in further study, job placement and career success. The UTEP Campus Office of Undergraduate Research Initiatives (COURI) formed in 2010 to expand and centralize this practice. COURI helps secure external funding, works with faculty to integrate research into coursework, offers professional development, advises students on choosing mentors and applying to external programs, funds student travel to present at conferences, coordinates funded research programs, collaborates with other institutions for research student exchanges, and organizes a biannual showcase of student work. In 2014, UTEP received a $22.6 million grant from NIH Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) Initiative, which will support UTEP s BUILDing SCHOLARS Center for undergraduate research training. Students from traditionally underrepresented groups in biomedical sciences and engineering will be mentored on projects in critical areas related to health on the US-Mexico border. These activities lie at the core of UTEP s goal to become the first national research university with a 21st century student demographic.

Institutional Efficiency and Effectiveness - Key Measures Administrative Cost FY 2000 FY 2014 Point Change FY 2000 to 52. Administrative costs as a percent of operating budget 10.4% 7.8% 7.5% - 2.9 UTEP continues to work diligently and successfully to reduce administrative costs and to achieve efficiencies in all aspects of its operations. This effort is particularly important in the context of the higher education cost-shifting that is occurring as State funding declines and students bear a greater share of the cost of their education through increased tuition and fees. Space Usage Efficiency (SUE) 53. Space usage efficiency measure of the effectiveness and efficiency of existing teaching space utilization.

Among the strategies that have proven highly successful is an energetic outreach program to small and family-owned businesses in the El Paso community. UTEP's support of Historically Underutilized Businesses is another critical measure of our economic impact on the region. Operating Expenses per FTE Student FY 2001 FY 2014 % Change FY 2001 to 56.

UTEP is striving to achieve an appropriate balance between quality and affordability in a context of declining State appropriations. This balance is particularly critical in a setting such as UTEP where so many students struggle to finance their education. UTEP is highly entrepreneurial in seeking other sources of support for its programs, and has been highly successful in attracting private-sector support from individuals and corporate partners. However, much of this revenue is restricted by the donors and cannot be used to subsidize daily operations.

In fact, UTEP s net price is the lowest among all research universities in the U.S. UTEP continues to generate significant new revenues through successful fund-raising and entrepreneurial activities. UTEP s TRB requests have been focused on accommodating growing enrollment and expanded research activity, and the ROI on such investments in UTEP have exceeded those at most peer institutions.
