PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Forty-Second Edition
The South Carolina Higher Education Statistical Abstract is a comprehensive, single-source compilation of tables and graphs which report
data frequently requested by the governor, legislators, college and university staff, other state government officials, and the general public.
The 2020 edition of the Statistical Abstract marks the 42nd year of this valuable publication.
This Abstract includes the most recent statistics on enrollment, degrees awarded, faculty, tuition and fees, funding, and other factual data.
Relevant terminology is listed in the introduction to each section.
The Abstract would not have been possible without the assistance of the college and university institutional representatives’ completion of
data for CHE reports and the federal Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). The help and support of these individuals
is extremely important to the CHE’s data collection process. Their assistance is greatly appreciated.
