º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ Fall 2004 Enrollment Increases
The University of Louisiana at Monroe's enrollment for the
fall 2004 semester is 8,836. This is up from last year's 8,580
students. This 3% percent increase marks the second year in a
row that º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ has had an increase in enrollment.
"The increase in enrollment represents continued progress
for º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ," President James Cofer said. "We are encouraged
not only by the quantity of the increase but also by the quality
of our freshmen class."
First-time full-time freshmen totaled 1,487, up 16% over last
fall. However, the TOPS eligible freshmen are up 30% and the
freshmen average ACT is 20.83 up from an average last year of
20.28. This represents the highest average ACT for a beginning
freshmen class in the history of the institution.
º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ recently made major campus improvements in dining services,
the bookstore, and online enrollment services. For the second
year in a row º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ had the largest increase in student satisfaction
of any institution in the state. These factors along with the
buzz about the university's $67 Million new housing project help
generate excitement about º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ.
Lisa Miller, º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ Director of Recruitment and Admissions said,
"Students pick º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ because we live our motto of 'Students
First.' Students at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ get that extra special touch that they
do not see at other schools."
