Fall enrollment for the University of Houston broke the 40K barrier---and is closing in on 41K. The preliminary enrollment number is a record 40,959 students---a 3.6 % increase from last year. The freshman class has the highest SAT scores of any UH freshman class to date. These numbers, coupled with the massive growth in on-campus residency--bodes well for the future trend of UH athletic attendance figures.

Very nice.

Awesome! Houston's increasing popularity will bring in more students which in turn brings in more tuition and fees to the university.

That will allow the school to hire more faculty, pay them more, and expand programs.

To quote the great judge Schmalls from Caddy Shack - the world needs ditch diggers too…..

It tells you what the increase in enrollment is, but not the SAT scores nor what increase was, nor what the improvement in the graduation rate has been, or even the freshman retention rate. I kind of feel like they left a lot of information out.

this just in Yale Is growing. They are excited about letting more kids in as being exclusive is so yesterday. The goal is to go from a couple thousand kids that all know each other and will someday rule the country to a huge commuter school with a minimum of 40,000 "students"--not kids, but people of all ages.--like Houston. end goal is 100,000 students to increase tuition $$ to help pay for Houston athletics and get them into a powerhouse conference, athletically speaking, like the big 12 and out of the non-P5 Ivy league.

That's kind of rude.

The information says they increased enrollment while at the same time increased SAT scores. My only point is that we don't know what the increase is.

Cincinnati has been doing the same thing. Fifteen years ago, UC's enrollment was 32,000. Now it's over 43,000. A good part of that is graduation school enrollment increases, but undergrad has grown as well.


Fifteen years ago, the average ACT at UC was around 23. Now it's 25.5. No that's not elite status, but considering it was done while significantly growing enrollment is a nice accomplishment. The 6 year graduation rate went from 55% to 65%. Again, not setting the world on fire, but a good improvement, and quickly getting better.

So if Houston is doing the same thing, good for them. I'm just not sure how far along they are.

With that said, kind of lame that this thread has turned into this.

So your school has increased a whopping 250 students since you graduated and you re comparing that to schools who've increased by the 10,000's?? Your school is still obviously strict with regards to admission standards. Houston has been saying they ve been getting stricter on admission standards since the SWC breakup and the heavy criticism of Houston's academics by UT. This shows the opposite. It's easy to get in to Houston. BTW, it's not hard to get into ECU either (save you the time) Houston needs to stop with the academic standards rah rah. They are just like any other big city commuter college.

I have an automatic reflex to talk sh!t every time a Houston fan puts academic progress reports on this sports board. I know it hurts that UT talked all that Houston academic trash after the SWC breakup but that doesn't mean you have to over compensate by talking all the academic smack. You don't have to be as good as UT or AtM to have people follow coog sports. You LL never be UT academically, and UT will never allow it anyway. You guys know this. I LL stop replying to Houston academic posts (which are always minus a few details) if you guys are willing to admit you d never allow an ECU fan to say that we can catch UNC or become an AAU school etc.
