DSU enrollment figures released

Madison – Dakota State University officials released full-time enrollment and headcount numbers for Fall 2000.  Full-time equivalent enrollment reached a record high of 1,444 – an increase of 8%.  Headcount was 1,801 – a decrease of 10%. 

“Three years ago, when the decision was made to include the Teaching & Technology Learning academies (TTL) in headcount numbers, we knew there would be a decrease in headcount when TTL ended at DSU. We had 300 teachers last year and this year we did not host a TTL academy,” said Dr. Jerald Tunheim, president of DSU.  “We are experiencing significant growth in full time students on campus, in Sioux Falls, and in our online programs.  That is a clear indicator that our programs are successful and on track with future expectations.” 

Dakota State University’s on campus Fall enrollment includes a record freshmen class of 372 students with a record high average ACT score.  DSU’s full time equivalent enrollment has increased by 53% over the last 4 years.
