Welcome to the 2005-2006 edition of the Texas A&M University Statistical Factbook. The primary purpose of this Factbook is to provide trend data to Texas A&M colleges, departments, administrators, students, and faculty, peer institutions, and other external users. Our ultimate goal is to compile at least five years of data. Due to changes in reporting methods, comparable data is not readily available in every case and we have provided as many years as possible. As future Factbook editions are developed and updated additional years data will be included. Because the Fall semester is most frequently reported or requested, the majority of data found in this factbook will include only Fall semester data. For other semesters or more detailed breakdowns of data we encourage you to visit the Office of Institutional Studies' Report Website.

We sincerely hope that you find this Factbook useful for your data needs. We also welcome any comments and/or suggestions that you might have. Please send us your feedback to oisp@tamu.edu
