LSU says its fall enrollment is up by 3% over last year, despite devastating budget cuts. The university says overall enrollment in Baton Rouge is 28,771 students, compared with 27,992 in fall 2009. The freshman class is up by 14%, to 5,481 students. Undergraduate enrollment is 23,686, a 3% jump from the 23,017 students enrolled a year earlier. Graduate school enrollment saw a similar increase, going from 4,614 students to 4,710 in a year. “This increase in enrollment at such a financially challenging time shows that citizens of this state recognize the value of obtaining a degree from Louisiana’s flagship university,” says LSU Chancellor Michael Martin.
