ULtoday.com: La Tech Sees 5.5% Enrollment Jump
Enrollment at Louisiana Tech continues to rise as the University’s Division of Enrollment Management reports an increase of 488 students, or 5.5%, over last year in the spring quarter headcount.
This marks the third consecutive year that Louisiana Tech has reported a rise in its spring quarter enrollment with 2011 increases seen in both undergraduate and graduate student classifications. The spring enrollment numbers follow a 4.6% increase in Louisiana Tech’s fall quarter headcount, which was the largest percentage increase in the University of Louisiana System.
“These numbers are very encouraging, especially in light of the challenges our institution and our state continue to face,” said Louisiana Tech President Dan Reneau. “Good students want to go to good schools. Our success is a product of a dedicated group of faculty and staff members, and a campus culture that places the needs of the students first.”
Louisiana Tech’s Graduate School also experienced a rise in its spring student population which followed record enrollment reported this past fall. For the fourth consecutive year, both masters and doctoral-level student counts increased. Graduate students now comprise over 23% of Louisiana Tech’s total student body.
In addition to the enrollment increases, Louisiana Tech posts the ULS’ highest graduation rate at 53.2% and the state’s fastest time-to-completion for first-time baccalaureates at 4.6 years. Incoming freshman for fall 2010 had an average ACT score of 23.63 – the highest in school history.
