The University of Kansas has reported its highest Spring enrollment ever, according to statistics released Friday by the department of educational services.
Enrollment at the Lawrence campus and the University of Kansas Medical Center was a record 27,182 on Wednesday, the 20th day of classes. That is an increase of 378 from Spring 1989, the only spring semester since 1966 that KU enrollment declined.
"Demand remains high for the academic programs at the University of Kansas," Chancellor Gene A. Budig said in a prepared statement. "These challenging programs represent opportunity for our students and pride (for our alumni and citizens) KU continues to attract and retain large numbers of superior students."
Budig said that enrollment had stabilized and that the increase of
KU is starting the decade with 94 more students than in Spring 1988, the previous peak.
94 students was a continuation of the administration's enrollment plan.
Enrollment on the Lawrence campus was 23,392, an increase of 545 from 1989 and greater than the previous high of 22,992 set in 1988. Med Center enrollment was 2,356, an increase of 66 from 1989.
Bruce Lindvall, director of admissions, said the rise could be attributed partly to a University-wide effort to raise the level of quality of undergraduate students. By raising the quality, University
officials expect to retain more students who will graduate.
"We've seen a slight increase in new students, and we've been trying to keep more students in school," Lindvall said. "The world is a competitive place, and two years ago we embarked on a mission to improve the quality of our students."
The 20th-day head count figures are released each semester and are calculated after compiling enrollment figures from each school within the University.

Kathy Hall, assistant director of the undergraduate center in the college, said the increase might be attributed to strengthened academic
"The University has started to retain better students now," she said. "This factor reduces the number that drop out or are kicked out, and therefore we have more students."
The School of Journalism had an increase of 129 students, or 15.8 percent, the highest percent increase among all University of Kansas schools.

ceive quality in the programs within the school." he said.
Kautsch said the school's advertising, business communications and magazine sequences were attracting the most students.
"The students appear to be enrolling in those areas because they tend to be interested in business or entrepreneurship." Kautsch said.
The School of Social Welfare had the largest enrollment decrease. Enrollment was 582 a drop of 74.
social welfare, said the decrease was part of a plan by the administration to lower the school's enrollment.
Spring enrollment climbs to new heights
"Since 1982, our school has grown by 30 percent," she said. "Our faculty had more than they could deal with, so we have been reducing students each semester to balance out the sizes."
Statistics for the enrollment in each school were included in the 20th-day head count figures. The figures
Enrollment totals for this semester are the highest ever for a spring semester at KU.
