Enrollment is now open for the national Kansas Study of Community College Instructional Costs and Productivity (www.KansasStudy.org).

The Kansas Study collects and reports data on instructional workload (percent credit hours taught by full- and part-time faculty) and the direct costs of instruction, by discipline. Enrollment in the Kansas Study is free of charge.

Kansas Study data have been shown to be very useful for supporting accreditation, staff and program management, and internal accountability, as well as program review processes.

Participants receive reports for their individual institutional and national aggregate data, as well as the opportunity to select peer colleges and create benchmark comparisons on the project Web site. The site also provides a complete list of 2009 Kansas Study participants, as well as additional information including enrollment forms and procedures.
