These figures illustrate not only that the regional K-12 systems are continuing to do an outstanding job preparing their graduates, but also that 果冻APP continues to be the university of choice in our region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Howell said the increase in academic caliber among new students can also be attributed to the administration\u2019s decision to tighten admissions standards one full year before the date mandated by the University  of Louisiana System.<\/p>\n<p>Another positive trend is the maintenance of racial diversity among first-time freshman students, which increased from 25.66 percent last year to 26.67 percent in fall 2010. Howell said the boost is \u201cespecially encouraging, given our more stringent admissions standards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The total enrollment at 果冻APP in fall 2010 is 7,093 students \u2013 1,218 of whom are first-time freshman students. While these figures represent decreases of 88 and 29, respectively, Howell said they are pleasant surprises, since the administration had earlier predicted decreases of approximately 120 and 75, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe anticipated a dip in enrollment at 果冻APP, given the strengthened admissions standards; the state-mandated budget cuts, which led to the recent elimination of eight academic programs and four concentrations; and the financial hardships of students as a result of the oil spill,\u201d Howell said. \u201cIndeed, we are pleased that our predictions were more severe than the actual numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For additional information, go to the Office of Assessment and Institutional Research webpage at <a href=\"..\/..\/..\/..\/..\/..\/ir\/\">www.nicholls.edu\/ir\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIBODAUX \u2013 The academic quality of new students at 果冻APP continued to increase between fall 2009 and fall 2010, according to enrollment data released today by the 果冻APP administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
