From today’s Joplin Globe:

 

Both Missouri Southern State University and Pittsburg (Kan.) State University are reporting enrollment increases for the spring semester.

MSSU’s spring enrollment grew by 341 students, bringing the headcount to 5,431. Those numbers represent a 6.7 percent increase compared to last year, according to a Southern spokesman.

Pittsburg State University has set a record for spring enrollment with a total of 6,752 students, according to a news release from the university. That number represents a 2.4 percent increase over the spring 2009 semester.

PSU is experiencing increases in several areas, including new freshmen (14 percent), transfer students (8 percent), new graduate students (35 percent), and Gorilla Advantage students (9 percent). The university has also seen an increase (66 students) in the number of Kansas residents.
