USHE Enrollment Projections - Spencer C. Pratt ( PDF)

The Utah State Board of Regents recently adopted enrollment projections for the eight colleges and universities in the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) through the 2025-2026 academic year. The projections indicates that the actual 2014-2015 annualized student FTE level of 128,553 will increase by an overall average of 2.3 percent per year through 2025-2026, resulting in a total of 164,627 FTE students (see figure below for details). This represents an 11-year increase of 36,074 students. This increase is approximately the same number as the current number of FTE students at Weber State University and Salt Lake Community College combined.
While the USHE annual growth rate is fairly constant, it does vary between institutions. The average projected annual growth rate at Weber State University is 0.8 percent and the rate at Salt Lake Community College is projected at 1.1 percent. Snow College's projected rate is 6.9 percent and Utah Valley University's is 3.7 percent.
