- Anadolu University in Turkey was the largest university in the world when measured by the number of degree-level students of 570,000.
- Most health care services involve some form of care by nurses. Although 60 percent of all employed RNs work in hospitals, many are employed in a wide range of other settings, including private practices, public health agencies, primary care clinics, home health care, outpatient surgicenters, health maintenance organizations, nursing school-operated nursing centers, insurance and managed care companies, nursing homes, schools, mental health agencies, hospices, the military, and industry. Other nurses work in careers as college and university educators preparing future nurses or as scientists developing advances in many areas of health care and health promotion.
- Workforce development at two-year colleges is the fastest growing area of college services in many states. A survey of community college funding found: 19 states used state funds from their community college appropriation; 32 states used funds from other state agencies (these include state departments of labor, vocational education, economic development, commerce, and human resources); and 31 states used non-state funds.
- For-profit schools lean heavily on part-time professors. According to The Chronicle Index of For-Profit Education, America's top 5 for-profit schools currently have 5,985 full-time faculty and 37,249 part-time professors and instructors
