Enrollment at Texas State is down this semester, which ends a 19-year streak of numbers going up each fall. In this Bobcat Update, Tyler Williamson looks at the data.
Overall the enrollment numbers decreased slightly, but the freshman class is the largest ever. The university reports a two-point-five percent increase of freshmen surpassing the previous record set in 2016. Lower cost tuition, compared to other universities in the state, may be one reason the freshman numbers continue to go up.

Higher freshman enrollment was apparently not enough to offset the lower number of transfer students coming to Texas State. This fall the university has about 200 fewer students than last year. Matt Flores is an assistant vice president of university advancement.

Lower enrollment will not have an immediate impact on the university's wide array of research programs.

Texas State continues to improve and create better learning environments for current and future Bobcats. For Bobcat Update, I am Tyler Williamson.
