The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education has established 17 performance measures (some with submeasures) for system schools. The system considers 8 of these measures (including selected submeasures) in dividing performance funding (currently 8% of system funds to schools). 

The funded measures are:

• Degrees awarded
• Second-year persistence (overall and ethnic minority)
• Graduation rates (two- and four-year, overall and ethnic minority)
• Faculty "productivity" (student credit hours per faculty FTE)
• Faculty diversity (ethnic minority)
• Personnel ratio (personnel costs as percentage of overall costs)
• Faculty with terminal degrees
• Instructional cost per student FTE

The other (unfunded) measures are:

• Accredited programs
• Distance education
• PRAXIS passing rates
• Internships
• Associate degrees awarded (or community college transfers enrolled)
• Diversity of entering class (ethnic minority)
• Enrollment diversity (ethnic minority)
• Degree programs with few graduates
• Private Support
