This brochure highlights and updates a subset of U H performance indicators. The most recent report entitled Measuring Our Progress, 2004 Update can be found online at www.hawaii.edu/ovppp/mop/ and in printed form at U H campus libraries. The next update will be available in late 2006.
This version of the Measuring Our Progress Performance Indicators brochure is designed to promote accessibility for people with disabilities in compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. To ensure proper functioning of assistive technology tools such as screen readers, Hawaiian diacriticals were not included and spaces between selected acronyms were added (e.g., U H). We apologize for any inconvenience.
Rapid enrollment growth in the post-war era was followed by an extended period of more stable enrollment. Expanded access helped the U H system post modest overall gains from the early 1970s through the 1990s. Between fall 2000 and fall 2004, enrollment increased 13.4 percent and is projected to reach 52,400 by fall 2011.

After reaching a historical low of 31.7 percent in fall 2001, the going rate of recent Hawaii high school graduates into the U H campuses increased to 33.0 percent in fall 2005. U H system going rates averaged 42 percent in the 1970s, 36 percent in the 1980s, 37 percent in the 1990s, and 32 percent so far this decade.

U H Manoa graduation rates have remained stable, in the mid- to lower 50 percent range. U H Hilo rates have increased with some fluctuations; their rates have ranged from the mid-20s to nearly the mid-30s. The U H Community Colleges have remained in the mid-teens after experiencing a high of 17 percent with their 1994 cohort.

The share of degrees conferred to students remained stable in almost all ethnicity categories in fiscal year 2004–2005. However, compared to ten years ago, the share of degrees conferred to Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and those of mixed ancestry increased, while the share of degrees conferred to Filipino, Chinese, Japanese, and Caucasians decreased.

The U H is meeting a portion of the state’s need for workers trained for shortage areas, but the projected vacancies are considerable, particularly in teaching, nursing (R N), computer science (B S), and social work (B S W). Hawaii’s private higher education institutions also play an active role in meeting state needs, but the U H, as the state’s sole public higher education system, is focusing efforts on increasing graduates in these areas.
