U.S. ENROLLMENT PROFILE
Two types of students comprise total enrollment: new students entering for the first time, and students who had attended CWU in a previous quarter
U.S. New First-year enrollment Two factors contribute to the number of new students who enroll in 2- and 4-year colleges. The first is the number of high school seniors who graduate each year. The table below reveals a changing profile of the U.S. high school graduate. While the total is not expected to grow much over the next six years (a 3.6% increase), the number of Hispanic graduates will increase by 33% during that same period. The ethnic mix of the total is shifting, primarily through the growth in Hispanics. Single digit increases are projected for other members of traditionally underrepresented groups, and the percentage and the number of White graduates will fall.
