FTEs strong for 2005-2006
The number of full-time equivalent (FTE) students in Wisconsin's Technical Colleges remained at near record levels this past year. The total number of FTEs in the system was nearly 68,000, or one percentage point lower than last year. This is still a 23-percent increase over the last decade, and the third highest total on record. Several colleges have already indicated strong enrollments for the summer, which may indicate that FTEs will remain at or near record levels. FTEs are total credits taken, divided by 30, which typically measures the equivalent of full-time students in one school year.
