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.

* Starting in 2013 Total Enrollment also includes those not seeking a degree.

thanks for the very important information . . . That is 11 years of enrollment . . . how about the other 80% of what was requested . . . anyone out there can supplement with the previous 40 years . . . thanks in advance

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.

All I could find for 2024

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 . . .

now do the economy and you will probably have a much better picture of the reason for the basically minor fluctuations (from year to year there is never more than a few hundred in difference) . . . Louisiana is and has always been a solid academic university and has always held its own on the back of academics as opposed to athletics . . . just a fact my boys . . .

It didn't drop during the so call "Great Recession" of 2008.
