MTSU Summer Enrollment (8,603) Shows 4.7% Increase from ’08


(MURFREESBORO) — MTSU’s summer enrollment is 8,603 students, said Sherian Huddleston, associate vice president for enrollment services.
The total is a 4.7 percent increase from summer 2008, when MTSU’s headcount was 8,210.
The 2009 figure for May through August enrollment marks an increase of 393 students from last summer, Huddleston said.
MTSU submitted its summer enrollment totals to the Tennessee Board of Regents this week.
MTSU, similar to other schools nationwide, had been experiencing a decline in summer enrollment, said Huddleston, who added that this year there has been a reverse in that trend for MTSU.
By comparison, the spring 2009 enrollment total was 22,511 students, which was a 3.99 percent increase for the same period in 2008.
Fall 2008 enrollment was a record 23,872, and indications are that MTSU can expect another increase in enrollment for fall 2009, she said.
