Factbook Project
The UAF Dynamic Factbook serves as an institutional reference of the university's annual productivity. The Factbook is broken up into six sections:
Degrees Awarded- Degrees by program, campus and demographic characteristics, 1997-2011
Credit Hours- Information on courses taken by subject, level, campus and course number, 1997-2011
Majors- Degree-seeking students organized by origin, class standing, major, degree, ethnicity and gender 1997-2011
Enrollment- Student head counts organized by campus, origin, class standing, degree, ethnicity and gender, 1997-2011
Applications- Applications, admits and enrolled by origin, level, unit, major, school district and demographics, 1997-2011
*Update: The Factbook now includes a Download Spreadsheet button! Use it to download an Excel file containing all the data outputted by the Factbook.

Semester Data: The originial Factbook gives a breakdown of selected characteristics for a given semester. Fields are broken up into a tabular format with a total printed at the end. |
Trend Data: This Factbook update gives data for the past 12 years for a selected characteristic. The tables are pivoted to show a nice breakdown by semester, along with totals at the bottom. |
|
GraphBook Project -- currently being overhauled and therefore not available. The UAF GraphBook is able to create dynamic graphs based on data from the Factbook. All graphs reflect data from the Factbook and printer friendly options are available. | |
|
Pie Charts: These pages create a pie chart from data for one semester and one field from the factbook. Charts are displayed with percentage labels as well as a color-coded legend. |
Trend Graphs: These pages will output line graph showing trend data over the past 14 years. Any available characteristic from the Dynamic Factbook is available to be graphed as a trend line, and multiple fields can be selected for comparison. |
| Enrollment Reports -- coming soon. | |
Credits: The UAF Dynamic Factbook was completely developed by UAF students! Craig Stephenson and Alex Wolfe initiated the project as a part of their CS Senior Design course. Craig and Alex designed the engine that makes the Factbook dynamic. Yingte Zhang assembled the pieces made by Craig and Alex, placed the Factbook on a server, and made it run. Finally, Kris Harper did the final leg work of customizing the front-end, validating the data, and making the Factbook user-friendly. Kris also expanded functionality by adding the Enrollment and Applications pages, writing the entire trend data section of the Factbook and creating and developing the GraphBook project.
