Angelo State's Record Dropoff


Angelo State University losses roughly 10% of its students in the transition from Fall to Spring semesters. This year's loss reached a record 739 students.  ASU's enrollment history as a part of Texas Tech University is below:



    Fall   Spring   Delta Percent 
2007-2008 6240 5596 -644 -10.3%
2008-2009 6158 5482 -676 -11.0%
2009-2010 6387 5895 -492 -7.7%
2010-2011 6856 6191 -665 -9.7%
2011-2012 7084 6379 -705 -10.0%
2012-2013 6888 6149 -739 -10.7%

The percentage loss is the second highest in the last six academic years.  It's not clear how many of the 739 were freshmen.  That statistic might shed light on the Freshman College's early impact.

Graduate school enrollment continues to grow, even without the Masters of Public Administration degree.    Yet, retention clearly remains an issue.
