15–DAY HEAD COUNT
BGSU SPRINGS AHEAD
The University had positive news to share when this semester's 15–day head count was released Jan. 25. Enrollment is up among both undergraduate and graduate students on the Bowling Green campus, and overall enrollment is up by 4 percent over last spring.
Most notable was the number of graduate students, which rose by 229, a 7 percent increase from spring 2015. Much of the growth came through international student enrollment, particularly in the areas of computer science and business analytics, said Cecilia Castellano, vice provost for strategic enrollment planning.
