University of Montana seeing fewer students; Montana State University enrollment sets record

Enrollment numbers show a mixed bag for Montana’s biggest schools, with the University of Montana seeing fewer students while Montana State University has set a record.

UM has seen a drop off from last year’s record numbers, reporting a total autumn headcount enrollment of 14,943, which is 726 fewer than the record enrollment logged one year ago.

The number of students on the central mountain campus is 12,476, a decline of 390 students. Student headcount at Missoula College, the former College of Technology that has been part of UM since 1994, is 2,467, down 336 students.

Though these enrollment figures are not final, UM officials don’t anticipate major changes.
In addition to enrollment numbers, the University tracks the preparation level of incoming freshmen.
