| Summary: | This report highlights the fall 1999 enrollment figures submitted by Maryland's colleges and universities. Some of the main findings are that total headcount enrollments at Maryland's colleges and universities increased for the third straight year, rising by nearly 3,000 students to 267,653. However, enrollment at Maryland campuses still have not attained the level set in 1992.

The number of new full-time freshmen grew by 2.1 percent, to a record high of 29,569. There were sharp increases at the independent institutions and community colleges. Full-time graduate and professional enrollments had a strong year, jumping by 3.8 percent. Total headcount enrollment growth was greatest at the independent colleges and universities, where the number of students rose by 3.8 percent for the second consecutive year. Four-year public campuses experienced an increase of 1.8 percent. The number of students at community colleges fell by almost 1 percent. There were variations within higher education sectors. Women continued to outnumber men, comprising 58 percent of all students. (SM) |
