The enrollment data reveals recent progress at the institution. For example, the average freshman ACT score and the freshman-to-sophomore retention rate both remain at an all time high. Additional successes include a 25 percent growth in dual enrollment, an 11 percent growth in online enrollment, and a 14 percent growth in graduate school enrollment.

These improvements are "a result of careful strategic planning, program development and the diligence of our university family," Richters said.

In a letter to his colleagues Sept. 15, he wrote, "ULM is poised to prosper, our university family is filled with extraordinary talent, and our future remains bright."
