Enrollment

Casper College enrollment is slower than last year

This drop is primarily of out of state students

The university says 1,170 graduate and professional students are expected to enroll, a 39% decline from the previous year.

The 3,031 total degrees included a record 2,228 bachelor’s degrees.

In all, the university is expecting a total enrollment of more than 12,400.

Mathis says he's pleased with the school's finances and its expected enrollment growth.

Moore says the university had received nearly 98 percent of the total applications it had for fall 2018 as of Monday.

Moore says the university also is enrolling a greater share of Wyoming high school graduates.

The university's closure of two dorm buildings last year is also contributing to the impending student housing shortage.

Students must confirm they're attending by Aug. 1, so the numbers may change between now and then.
