Clarksville, Ark. -- The University of the Ozarks has announced a 3.4 percent increase in its 2007 Fall Semester enrollment over last year's figures.
The university’s enrollment of 643 students is the largest since 2003 and a 21-student increase over 2006 Fall Semester figures. The 2007 enrollment includes a full-time equivalent (FTE) headcount of 612 and 178 first-time freshmen, an 8 percent increase over 2006.
"We are extremely pleased with our increase in enrollment and the quality of students we accepted at Ozarks this year," said U of O President Dr. Rick Niece.

As we continue to enhance our academic reputation locally, regionally, and nationally, more students want the opportunity to experience an Ozarks’ education."
