Table 1a | Headcount History by School, 2007-2011
Total Fall 2011 headcount enrollment is 6,395, an increase of 1% from Fall 2010. Medicine and Social Work have the largest percent of growth in enrollment while Law and Nursing have a decline in enrollment. |
Table 1b | FTES History by School, 2007-2011
Total Fall 2011 FTES enrollment is 6,251, an increase of 2% from Fall 2010. Pharmacy and Dentistry experienced the largest percent increase and decline in FTES, respectively. |
Table 2 | Headcount Change by Degree
The growth in enrollment for Fall 2011 is largely attributable to an increase in the Medical and Research Technology BS, Medicine MS, Nursing MS, Social Work MSW, Nursing Practice DNP, and Nursing Certificate programs. Enrollments in Nursing BSN fell by 59 students or 9 percent compared to Fall 2010. This decline in enrollment is offset by the growth within the Master’s programs. The Nursing Certificate programs also experienced gains in their enrollment compared to Fall 2010, the first year the programs were offered. The Physical Therapy DScPT program is no longer admitting new students. |
Table 3 | Projected vs. Actual Headcount by Degree
Fall 2011 enrollment total is 2% greater than projected. While many programs are close to the projections, some have significant deviations. The Social Work MSW, Nursing MS and Law - Day JD programs enrolled the most number of students over their projected enrollments. Nursing BSN has the largest disparity among the programs that failed to reach their projected enrollment. The enrollment in Dental Hygiene BS is exactly as projected. |
Table 4 | FTES Change by Degree
Full-Time Equivalent Student (FTES) change by degree generally parallels change in headcount enrollment. The Grand Total FTES for all programs increased by 144, a 2% change from 2010 Fall FTES. |

Table 7a | Headcount by Race/Ethnicity

The changes include the addition of Multi-Racial and Pacific Islander categories. Total Minority is the sum of the American Indian, Asian, Black, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and Multi-Racial categories. Table 7b provides percent of headcount by race/ethnicity. |
