USCA Factbook Fall 2002: USC SystemHeadcount and FTE

The following chart and graph show the USC System enrollment by campus in fall 2002. Headcount is the literal number of full time and part time students taken together. FTE stands for "full time equivalence," and is a way to simulate how many undergraduate students there would be if all students took exactly fifteen credit hours. That is, if one student at USCA takes eight credit hours, and another takes seven, together only make up one FTE student. Graduate FTE is based on 12 credit hours per full time student.
