(October 14, 2009)<\/strong> &mdash; Reflecting a trend of higher enrollment across its 32-school system, the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities reported a six-percent enrollment increase for Bemidji State University on its report of the 30th-day enrollment numbers, released Monday, Oct. 5.<\/p>\n<p>The system reported Bemidji State&rsquo;s 30th-day head count at 5,171, an increase of 6.1 percent over the 30th day of classes in Fall 2008 when the University had 4,876 students. Bemidji State&rsquo;s 6.1-percent increase was the highest amongst the system&rsquo;s seven four-year universities, while its head-count increase of 295 students ranked fourth.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, head count enrollment in the system&rsquo;s seven universities on the 30th day of classes was up 3.3 percent, to 68,076 students.<\/p>\n<p>BSU&rsquo;s enrollment number could fluctuate throughout the year as students enroll for distance learning options.<\/p>\n<p>Credit generation, which plays a more-critical role in the University&rsquo;s budget than headcount, shows an increase nearly mirroring that of head-count enrollment. Bemidji State&rsquo;s 30th-day overall credit load was 62,924 credits, a 6.8-percent increase from a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>New students helped fuel the increase in credit generation. Bemidji State&rsquo;s 808-member class of new incoming freshmen account for 4.3 percent more credits than last year, while transfers (13.8 percent) and PSEO high-school students (25.9 percent) also saw large increases amongst new students. In total, Bemidji State&rsquo;s undergraduate population is generating 7.2 percent more credits than in 2008, while graduate students are seeing a 5.6-percent increase.<\/p>\n<p>Enrollment at the system&rsquo;s 25 two-year colleges was up nearly nine percent to just under 131,000 students.
