New student enrollment up at UM; overall numbers down

New student enrollment at the University of Montana was up this fall semester, though overall enrollment fell below last year’s levels, the school announced today.

The university announced a headcount of 14,525 students, exceeding the school’s initial projections, but marking a decrease of roughly 418 students from last year.

UM President Royce Engstrom said the school has launched a series of efforts to improve outreach to new students and their parents, and on some levels, the efforts are already paying off.
