September 1995



A technical paper commissioned by the Policy Center, Tidal Wave II evaluates nine separate enrollment projections for California's public colleges and universities in the next decade. Among the projections studied were those by the California State Department of Finance, California Post Secondary Education Commission (CPEC), University of California, California State University, California Community Colleges and The Rand Corporation. The three independent panelists, who met with representatives from each institution in July 1995, recommended the use of CPEC's enrollment forecast, which projects an increase of 488,000 students in the public segments by 2005.
