State University's fall enrollment has set a new record with
12,135 students officially on campus, university officials reported.
|
| In addition
to a record headcount, MSU also has enrolled the largest freshman
class in the university's 110-year history with 2,165 students. |
| MSU enrolled
about 200 students more than last year's fall enrollment of
11,934, according to Registrar Chuck Nelson. The enrollment
number includes a record number of Montana students. |
| Allen Yarnell,
vice president for student affairs, said the university is "delighted
that Montanans continue to select us as their school of choice.
Students come to MSU because of the high-quality education.
They stay because of the high quality of the faculty, cutting-edge
research facilities and successful job placement. |
| Yarnell
credited the work of MSU's Admissions and New Student Services
as well as faculty, staff and students who helped recruit the
record number of students. He said MSU statistics are up in
virtually every category: freshmen, graduate students, resident
students, out-of-state students and in terms of FTE, or the
average number of classes taken by the student body. |
| Yarnell
said enrolling students is just the beginning of success. |
| "We are
committed to the students succeeding," Yarnell said. "We hope
they have not only a great year, but a great college career
here at MSU." |
