p015graph

HIGHLIGHTS

  • With the exception of only three years in the last 30, Kennesaw State University has experienced constant growth in enrollment since its founding in 1966.
     
  • From 1966 to 1998, Kennesaw State University's enrollment grew by approximately 12,000 students or 1169%.
     
  • The university took steps to raise admission standards to slow the rate of growth in the early 1990s in response to funding cutbacks related to the recession and restricted  resources.
     
  • Additional admission requirements, which further raised standards throughout the University System, were approved in June 1996 and will be phased in through 2001.
     
  • As part of Board of Regents' Strategic Planning initiatives, enrollment targets are being set for all institutions in the University System.
