Record enrollment
Iowa State's fall 2000 enrollment is the highest in its history.
ISU enrolled 26,845 students in fall 2000, an increase of 735 over fall 1999 enrollment of 26,110. The fall 2000 enrollment tops the previous high of 26,529 in 1985.
"Iowa State's enrollment is no accident. The continuing success of our recruiting and retention activities is due to the efforts of hundreds and hundreds of university faculty, staff and students, complemented by support of the citizens of Ames," said interim president Richard Seagrave.
Fall enrollment includes 22,481 undergraduate students, 580 more than last year. Graduate enrollment is 4,364, 155 more students than fall 1999. Fall 2000 enrollment includes 4,354 freshmen, the largest freshmen enrollment in the university's history.
