Abstract

Place Origins of Enrolled Students
Track: Administration and Policy
Authors: Joseph Hughes

This is a student project focusing on the place origins of declared undergraduate majors in the Ogden College of Science and Engineering during the fall 2016 semester at Western Kentucky University. GIS is used to visualize the origins of these students and is also used to better understand the spatial pattern of these origins. Through mapping and spatial analysis by means of statistics and demographics, the result is an insight of understanding current enrollment and future outreach.
