USI freshmen class is second largest
Enrollment at the University of Southern Indiana for 2007 is
9,939 students. Final figures, announced at the USI Board of
Trustees September meeting, show that the incoming freshman
class with 2,136 students is the second largest freshman class
in USI’s history and the fourth consecutive class over 2,100
students.
Dr. Robert Parrent, vice president for Student Affairs,
said, “New students coming to USI are well-prepared for college
work, more diverse, and come from greater distances.” He
continued, “The Class of 2011 includes one national merit
finalist, 58 valedictorians, two Lily Endowment Community
scholars, and 201 Twenty-First Century scholars.”
Minority and international students represent over seven percent
of the students at USI. African American students, USI’s largest
minority, increased to 4.9 percent of the total student
population. The female-male count remains at 60 percent female
and 40 percent male. Traditional-age students remain in the
majority at 7,696 and adult students increased to 2,243.
Academic quality demonstrated by the standardized test
performance of new Presidential Scholars and
Baccalaureate/Doctor of Medicine (BMD) scholarship recipients
continues to increase. The average SAT score for the
Presidential Scholars is 1342 and the average score for the BMD
students is 1325.
Transfers from other post secondary institutions to USI
increased this fall and new graduate student numbers are up.
Students enrolled at USI come from 91 Indiana counties and 35
other states. International enrollment represents 44 foreign
