Problem is most of the band students get 'ships, which doesn't help to close the budget gap. But yeah, NSU's band is very good, to be sure.

Since football is so important, after last night NSU might see a boost in their enrollment!
the best online football team in the land
As long as they are PAYING online students, who cares?!Originally Posted by LT
there you go
Henderson is the new president.
This data is hard to believe. There's got to be something else going on here. Nursing is one of the fastest growing professions nationally. The demand for registered nurses is huge in this country. An additional 1.2 Million Registered Nurses will be needed in this country by the year 2020.

Jim Henderson is the new prez at NSU, in case you missed it. Begins 1/1/15.
They canned funding.
Hiring freeze.
Apparently they put more funding in their band.
Let's expand this discussion a bit. The first figure is fall 2014 enrollment. The second is the percentage change in enrollment from fall 2013 to fall 2014. You now need a 17 math ACT and a 16 English ACT to go straight into a four year university (unless you're admitted as an "exception"). Universities can only admit about 6% of their new students as exceptions. The state started requiring the minimum ACT scores for Tech, UL-L, UNO, and LSUBR, fall 2012 and for everybody else fall 2014.
Grambling 4,504 -11.2
Tech 11,271 2.8
McNeese 8,242 -1.3
Nichols 6,298 -4.0
ULM 8,526 -1.0
Northwestern 9,002 0.6
Southeastern 14,498 -3.0
ULL 17,195 3.3
LSUA 2,707 21.4
LSUBR 29,907 0.0
LSUS 4,051 -1.4
UNO 9,216 -1.1
Southern 6,304 -6.3
SUNO 2,734 -8.5
Good stuff. Did the BOR publish their preliminary headcount report, or did you look these up individually?
Among the reasons are BPCC has the bulk of students who are seeking an associate degree. NSU had a strong ADN program. The university has also expanded its clinical programs in Alexandria and Leesville/Fort Polk. Students who previously came to Shreveport exclusively may opt to remain closer to home for training. Some students may be online as well. Overall enrollment in the BSN and MSN programs are up as compared to 2008.
I think y'all got a good president, scribe. He did a fine job at BPCC.
Good old Memorial Gym
Where did you find the LSU-S enrollment numbers?
When Chancellor Henderson came to us at BPCC we had an enrollment of just about 4000 students. We received 70% of our funding from Baton Rouge and self-generated 30%. As he leaves us we will be close to 9000 in enrollment by the end of this semester (we have three or four short sessions yet to start) and we provide 70% of our funding from our campus. Now part of that is because of the changes under Jindal, but Henderson is a wizard at building a school. Although I have philosophical problems with some of his methods, he is unbelievable at working private-public partnership with employers. He excels at creating or expanding degree offerings to match the employment needs of regional employers and in response, they help fund programs. We just moved into a new STEM building this fall and in the spring we will begin a new Allied Health building. I think he will really help Northwestern.
