CSU-Pueblo freshman enrollment is up
But the university reported overall headcount enrollment is flat.
Speaking of enrollment. CSU-Pueblo announced this week that freshman enrollment is up compared to last year.
835 freshmen enrolled this fall, an increase of 5.4 percent over the prior year.
“Di Mare said administrators had conservatively projected an overall decline of 4.7 percent based on national trends for regional comprehensive universities as well as the University’s demographics and enrollment trends with feeder high schools and community colleges,” according to a news release from the university.
Overall headcount enrollment was flat, however. And the retention rate at census was 66 percent, the highest rate reported in 13 years.
