Enrollment Up for BSU and U of I
Idaho is in the business of higher education, and business is good.
Enrollment at BSU is up 8% for 2016, after seeing no increases the past two years.
Why is Boise State growing so fast? BSU president Bob Kustra has a theory:
Our new degree programs, a robust student experience and expanding campus infrastructure have only strengthened our profile regionally and nationally.
U of I went up 3.6% respectfully, it's first positive gain in enrollment since 2012.
Idaho State University didn't fare quite as well. They saw a drop of 1.4% for 2016.
