UW Tacoma continues enrollment climb

For the sixth straight year, UW Tacoma has hit a record high enrollment, according to university officials. When autumn quarter begins Sept. 29, an estimated 3,300 students will count themselves UW Tacoma Huskies. In 2005 enrollment reached 2,180. The following year UW Tacoma enrolled freshmen and sophomores for the first time, which led a enrollment bump of 2,292. Enrollment has continued to climb further up the chart each year. Last year’s official fall enrollment was 3,111, which was about a 5 percent increase. At 3,300 this fall, that will equate to another 6 percent increase in student headcount. This year’s final numbers will be released in mid-October, when university officials make an official head count.
