FTES History by School, 2006-2010
Total Fall 2010 FTES enrollment is 6,107, essentially unchanged from Fall 2009.  As expected from the headcount enrollment, Social Work and Nursing experienced the largest percent increase and decline in FTES, respectively.

Table 2 ‌

Headcount Change by Degree
The decline in enrollment for Fall 2010 is attributable to reductions in two Bachelor’s degree programs.  Enrollments in Nursing BSN and Medical and Research Technology BS fell by 54 and 20 students, respectively.  Within Master’s programs, reductions in Nursing were offset by growth in Public Health and Social Work.  Within Professional Practice Doctorate programs, the fourth year of Pharmacy PharmD expansion at Shady Grove added 40 students.  Overall enrollment in the Research & Scholarship Doctorate programs did not change compared to Fall 2009.  The Physical Therapy DScPT program is no longer admitting new students.  Fall 2010 is the first year for enrollment in the Nursing Certificate programs.

Table 3

Projected vs. Actual Headcount by Degree
Fall 2010 enrollment total is 1% less than projected.  While many programs were close to the projections, some had significant deviations.  The Social Work MSW and Law - Day JD programs enrolled the most number of students over their projected enrollments.  Nursing MS and BSN had the largest disparity among the programs that failed to reach their projected enrollment.  The enrollments in Genetic Counseling (MGC) and Physical Therapy (DPT) were exactly as projected.
