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."
