Student body: men and women, part-time, and students 25+

Profiles, Explore, and Compare now show each college's balance of men and women, its share of part-time students, and its share of students 25 and older.

What's new

  • Profile → Students: a "Who they are" card compares men (with the women's share), part-time students, and students 25 and older against the median college. It adds a one-line study-load note and a "Many adult students" chip for colleges above the 75th percentile.
  • Profile → Over time: men's share and part-time share from fall 1996, with national bands.
  • Explore: a "Student body" filter (Mostly women 702, Balanced 954, Mostly men 237, Mostly full-time 1,100), a Men column, sorts, and a 10-year change column for men's share.
  • Compare: rows for men and women, part-time, and 25+, plus bars with no "Highest" flags, since these describe a college rather than rank it.
  • Glossary: gender balance, part-time student, adult students, and degree-seeking.

Behind the scenes

  • Four new fields from the College Scorecard, covering nearly every college. No existing value changed.
  • Age is only collected in odd-numbered years, so it's cited with its own year and has its own row on the Data tab.
  • Average age at entry was left out: its newest year is 2015.
  • No Home fact: men's share fell 1.3 points over 10 years, under the spec's 2-point bar.
