Enrollment

“This is only my second semester here at Eastern Michigan University. I transferred from Washtenaw Community College because I wanted my bachelor’s degree,” Andrea Dennison said. “I’m really happy to see it though because I think it opens up more opportunities for diversity.”
With the enrollment increasing at Eastern Michigan University it means more opportunities for students to interact with each other. It also will increase the size of classes for professors. “I don’t think that this will affect my one on one time with professors because they seem pretty good about making sure the students are doing well in their classes,” Dennison said.
Eastern Michigan University’s enrollment jumped up 4.26 percent for the 2009-10 school year. The reason behind the increase could be a factor of reasons including more on-line classes being offered and students wanting to transfer from two-year colleges to a four-year to get a bachelor degree. Dennison said, “I don’t think that the enrollment will continue to increase though because of the economy though. If the economy doesn’t get better I think that the enrollment with actually decrease.”
