UCA’s Davis outlines university priorities; includes 2 percent enrollment goal - Hillary Andrews, Log Cabin Net

For the past two consecutive falls, Davis said UCA’s freshman classes have been off, with a big dip in numbers from 2015’s 2,912 to 2016’s 2,548. This fall, freshman enrollment was 2,518. “Someone asked me what do I really see as the overall enrollment goals,” he said. Davis said UCA should not shy away from the idea of trying to have 2 percent growth in enrollment, which he believes the university has the ability and capacity to do from now until 2022. Some other aspects they looked at, he said, have been encouraging such as transfer numbers being up, graduate student enrollment increases and the incoming freshman class profiles that have continued to show rises in ACT scores and more. http://thecabin.net/local/news/education/2017-10-07/uca-s-davis-outlines-university-priorities-includes-2-percent
