This report looks closely at the revenue prospects for colleges in North America. Data in the report is based on a sample of 70 North American colleges, with data broken out separately by size and type of institution. The study gives highly detailed data for current and expected revenue from a myriad of sources, including but not limited to: state support, tuition, fundraising, college sports, programs for non-matriculated students, memorabilia licensing, endowments, adult education and distance learning, rental of college facilities, and other sources.

 

The report helps college management to answer questions such as: How have revenue forecasts changed over the past two years? In what areas is revenue expected to grow? How are colleges tapping new sources of revenue? What is the role of distance learning, rental of college facilities, certificate programs for non-matriculated students, college athletics, and fundraising playing in the revenue outlook? How are my peers handling these pressing revenue-related issues in this difficult economic environment? What is the expected outlook for the availability of student loans and how will this impact revenues?

 

Just a few of the many findings from this report are:

  • Over the past year, the mean revenue on college endowments in the sample has been approximately $20.99 million
  • Training and certificate courses for non-matriculated students create a mean of $488,917 in revenue for public colleges in the sample and $85,381 for private colleges
  • In 2012-13, colleges in the sample expect to raise a mean of $7.53 million through fundraising and gifts, about 50 percent more than the year prior
  • About 60.6 percent of students in public colleges in the sample received federally guaranteed or subsidized student loans in 2011-12, compared to 76.25 percent of students at private colleges
  • Overall revenue from tuition among colleges in the sample has increased by a mean of 2.43 percent over the past year
  • College sports account for a mean of $210,768 in revenue among colleges in the sample, with some participants netting as much as $4 million to this extent
  • 37.5 percent of community colleges in the sample and 36.36 percent of colleges with less than 1,500 enrolled students say their state, municipality, or government donor has altered its funding model in recent years so that the college is penalized if it exceeds certain cost bounds
