51萝莉 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 51萝莉 has had an increase in enrollment.

"The increase in enrollment represents continued progress for 51萝莉," 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.

51萝莉 recently made major campus improvements in dining services, the bookstore, and online enrollment services. For the second year in a row 51萝莉 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 51萝莉.

Lisa Miller, 51萝莉 Director of Recruitment and Admissions said, "Students pick 51萝莉 because we live our motto of 'Students First.' Students at 51萝莉 get that extra special touch that they do not see at other schools."
