The Chronicle of Higher Education has a neat data tool as part of its Almanac of Higher Education 2013. You can use the tool to sort in-state and out-of-state college enrollment by state. A few highlights here.
Sorting by in-state figures, Texas colleges and universities have 93.4% of their enrollment coming from in-state and 6.4% out-of-state. At the other end of the list, institutions in the District of Columbia enroll 8.6% in-"state" students and 87.9% out-of-"state."
Here's how our Joyce Ivy Foundation states in the Midwest stack up:
Michigan: 89.6% in-state, 10.4% out-of-state
Ohio: 82.1% in-state, 17.8% out-of-state
Nebraska: 76% in-state, 23.7% out-of-state
Missouri: 74.9% in-state, 25% out-of-state
Minnesota: 72.9% in-state, 25.1% out-of-state
South Dakota: 65.2% in-state, 33.6% out-of-state
North Dakota: 46.6% in-state, 53.4% out-of-state
So where do the out-of-state students come from? Take a look at how much of the top out-of-state numbers draw from other Midwestern states.
Michigan: 5,604 out-of-state first-year students
1,372 from Illinois (24%)
665 Ohio (12%)
460 Wisconsin (8%)
270 Indiana (5%)
236 Minnesota (4%)
Ohio: 11,446 out-of-state first-year students
1,664 from Michigan (15%)
1,280 Illinois (11%)
Nebraska: 2,648 out-of-state first-year students
475 from Iowa (18%)
223 Nebraska (8%)
216 South Dakota (8%)
Missouri: 7,279 out-of-state first-year students
2,294 from Illinois (32%)
793 Kansas (11%)
382 Iowa (5%)
375 Nebraska (5%)
Minnesota: 6,806 out-of-state first-year students
2,844 from Wisconsin (42%)
652 North Dakota (10%)
550 Illinois (8%)
375 Iowa (6%)
371 South Dakota (5%)
South Dakota: 2,004 out-of-state first-year students
793 from Minnesota (40%)
416 Iowa (21%)
258 Nebraska (13%)
North Dakota: 3,248 out-of-state first-year students
2,369 from Minnesota (73%)
207 from South Dakota (6%)
The tool also lets you examine geographic representation in the first-year classes of specific colleges and universities by scrolling over a bubble chart of the United States. You can track the data over time beginning in 1994 and moving in two-year increments through 2010. Check it out, and take a look at how many first-year students come from Joyce Ivy Foundation states at some of our Joyce Ivy partner colleges and universities.
It's also interesting to think about how likely it is that two first-year students come from different states. Will your roommate be from New Mexico? Oregon? Maine? A few sample stats from some of our Joyce Ivy Foundation partners:
In 2010, there was a 92% chance that two U.S. first-year students at Harvard came from different states, an 83% chance at Barnard, 91% chance at Brown, 81% chance at Stanford.
There is still lots of work to do to build the geographic diversity on campuses across the country, and there is certainly room for more Midwestern voices on campuses outside of the Midwest.
