Total enrollment increased by 987 students (2.0%) from 49,009 last fall to 49,996 in fall 2000. This enrollment increase is due primarily to higher than targeted numbers of provisional students and new fall freshmen, and an anticipated increase in undergraduate continuing students. Undergraduate enrollment increased by 1,003 students to 38,162. Graduate enrollment (excluding Special Professional) decreased from 10,275 to 10,194 (81 students or 0.8%).
