Abstract

This paper studies what factors will affect the enrollment rate of American universities. The research data come from IPEDS. The admission rate and graduation rate of schools are selected as independent variables, the teacher-student ratio, the number of members of National Collegiate Athletic Association, the teacher-student ratio, scholarships and students' SAT reading and writing performance are selected as covariables to study. The study found that these variables can better explain the enrollment rate of American universities, and the enrollment rate of universities has a significant relationship with the admission rate, graduation rate, whether they are members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the SAT score of 75 percentiles.
