AN URBAN UNIVERSITY'S
DISTRIBUTION OF STUDENTS

page_019table

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Kennesaw State is evolving to be more like the urban commuter university than the traditional residential university in terms of its distribution of students.
     
  • Traditional residential universities often have larger lower division than upper division enroll-ments and proportionately fewer graduate students than urban commuter universities; KSU's upper division and graduate enrollment is growing several times faster than its lower division enrollment.
     
  • The nontraditional nature of the students at urban and metropolitan universities results in a substantially different distribution of students than at traditional residential institutions because of the high volume of undergraduate transfers (working adults) at all levels.
