I’ve been looking for this fall’s enrollment numbers and can’t find them. Yet I can find other state universities. Usually UL does a press release, but nada.

I don't know how else to say it but it's 123 years of enrollment. The left column is the historical enrollment of students seeking a degree.

In 2013 they started listing students who were taking classes but not necessarily seeking an immediate degree. Some of these students could earn credits towards a degree in the future, but we're not taking a full curriculum.

Online students may be in that number.

2013 was a pivot point in how total enrollment was calculated.

Thank you, but looking for ‘24

Roughly 2000 shy of our highest enrollment numbers.

Lots of growth in the 80s then, poof.

Right now the "degree seekers" are below the early 80's number.

It peaked with Brian Mitchell.

Peaked again the year following Jake Delhommes run.

Dropped off considerably during Baldwin's tenure.

Peaked again with Jerry Babb and Bustle's bus tour.

Peaked again while Hudspeth was winning.

Napier no effect.

Desormeaux declined overall but not with freshmen.

tuition was $500 per semester in the 80's as opposed to $5,500 per semester now . . .
