University of Missouri Expecting Fewer Freshmen
08/18/2013

 (AP) - The University of Missouri is expecting fewer freshman this fall compared to last year.

 A memo from Ann Korschgen, the university's vice provost for enrollment management, and Barbara Rupp, director of admissions, estimates freshman enrollment this fall at 6,165 based on current deposits. That's a drop of nearly 480 from last year.

 The Columbia Daily Tribune reports that officials say the university has anticipated the drop in freshmen as the number of high school students in Missouri and the Midwest declines.

 Deposits from out-of-state students also dropped by 61 this year, but that number is still up 423 from two years ago.
