| Summary: | Statistical information on enrollment in the University of Nevada System (UNS) is presented, showing growth for the fourth consecutive year. All six campuses report increases in full-time equivalent (FTE) students for the fall 1988 semester. Overall, the FTE enrollment for the system is 26,652, which represents an increase of 8.6% from the fall 1987 semester. The system currently serves 56,246 students, an increase of 5.8% over the number enrolled in fall 1987. For the first time in 3 years, the percentage of full-time students has increased, mainly because of an increase in the percentage of full-time students at community colleges. The percentage of women enrolled has decreased slightly from 1987, but the percentage of minority students has increased. Of all UNS students in the fall of 1988, 84.6% are white and 15.4% are minority. Seventy percent of UNS students are part-time, 51% of university students are part-time, and 89% of community college students are part-time. In the 10 years between 1976 and 1986, Nevada led the 13 western states in rate of change in enrollment. For the second consecutive year, FTE enrollment has grown at a faster rate than headcount enrollment. Nevada is one of four western states with projected increases in the number of high school graduates between 1989-90 and 1992-93. (SM) |
