Admission applications up for every UM System campus

University of Missouri System President Mun Choi and chancellors for campuses across the system shared application data to the University of Missouri Board of Curators on Friday.

The data showed that applications at every campus are up compared to last year. The numbers indicate that first-time college enrollment and transfer enrollment could increase across the system when the 2018-19 academic year begins in August.

These numbers demonstrate that Missourians and out-of-state students recognize that they can receive exceptional and affordable educations while becoming career-ready,” Choi said.

According to the data, there were 15,060 applications for Mizzou in 2017 and 17,583 in 2018 showing a 16.8% increase.

Recruitment efforts at all four campuses have been bolstered by additional activities and marketing, for targeted ad campaigns to ramped up recruitment efforts in Missouri and else where.
