Total enrollment is stable even with MS enrollment declines but needs to grow
The challenge!
The University goal for CEMR is a 12.3% increase in F05 enrollment and instructional FTE by Fall of 2010
Fall 2005 enrollment & instructional FTE levels were 2749 students: 2012 undergraduate & 737 graduate
students 1895 instructional FTE * # of undergraduate sch/15 or # of grad sch/12
By Fall 2010 CEMR must Increase enrollment by 354 students from Fall 05
enrollment of 2749 Increase instructional FTE by 240 from Fall 05
instructional FTE of 1859
The CEMR plan
Enrollment growth must occur in both the undergraduate and graduate programs. Undergraduate efforts will focus on improving
the quality and quantity of freshman class majors, Engineering, General engineering, Pre-Biom & Pre-CS
freshman to sophomore retention, sophomore to junior retention and increasing our first time transfers through
articulation agreements. Graduate efforts will focus on increasing
graduate enrollment and the enrollment ratio of Ph.D. to Master’s degree.

– actual number in 2006/07 was only 55 students
05/06 Fr-Soph retention Keep Engineering major at or above 73%
- actual was 74% Increase General Engineering major
from 55% to 57% - actual was 61%
Progress toward 06 goals
Graduate enrollment Keep MS enrollment around 530 to 540 –
actual was 468 Increase PhD enrollment from 184 to

Threats to meeting our goals
Nationally B.S. enrollment growth turned negative in 2004. The projections are for several more years of negative enrollment growth. Even though we offer a tremendous
product to potential students it is likely that we will not be able to buck that national B.S. enrollment trend for long if it continues.
