Fact Book

The annual Fact Book contains important facts pertaining to the institutional context and characteristics of Gettysburg College. Its primary purpose is to inform the College’s goals, strategic planning, and decision-making. The Office of Institutional Analysis compiles the Fact Book based on data provided by various offices on campus. In the course of a year, frequent updates are made as new information becomes available, mostly during the summer and after the fall census date.

Many members of the Gettysburg College community have provided data for the Fact Book. We gratefully acknowledge their contributions.
