 "In the final analysis, the curriculum is nothing less than the statement a college makes about what, out of the totality of man's constantly growing knowledge and experience, is considered useful, appropriate, or relevant to the lives of educated men and women at a certain point of time."

--Frederick Rudolph (1977) Curriculum
   

 

"Seat count" displays reflect duplicated enrollment, and account for all classes in which students may be enrolled as of the official census date for a particular term.  Therefore, the seat count aggregated over more than single courses will exceed the head count because it counts separately the seats in all classes in which an individual student may have enrolled.  For example, a typical student (1 head count) might enroll in four courses generating four seat counts.

"Section count" displays the number of different class sections for each discipline for each term.

"Student Credit Hours" displays a multiple of the course credit hour times the student seat count.  Thus, a 3 credit course with 15 students enrolled would yield 45 student credit hours.  [ 3 x 15 = 45 ]     The Student Credit Hours generated are important because they represent the "production" of the university and are the principal unit by which the university is budgeted from the state.
