SUSC freshmen follow national student norms Of Southern Utah State College's 966 registered freshmen, fresh-men, 7 come from Utah, 305 from Iron County and the most popular major among the first-timers first-timers is business administration. ad-ministration. According to SUSC Registrar Ward Robb, these comparative figures have held pretty steady over the past few years. Business, elementary education and physical education have been the favorite choices of freshmen for several years, as they are this year." "But", Robb explained, "over half of our enrollment is freshmen fresh-men and sophomores and sometimes they aren't too sure of what they want." This is evident, Robb said, in the high enrollment tallies in general education, 202 freshmen students. The greatest portion of SUSC's total studentbody is between the ages of 19-20 years old and males outnumber females 1,029 to 883. Robb also said he has seen an increase in the number of women enrolled as part time students this year. That particular statistic follows national trends pointed up in a study released by the College Entrance Examination Board. The study represented one-third of all 1976 high school I graduates and approximately two-thirds of all freshmen who entered college this year. Highlights of the study include: For the second consecutive year, there are more women than men in the sample population, and for the first time since 1972, the percentage of minority students is up from a virtually constant 14 percent to 15 percent. Compared to their predecessors, the 1976 senior class seems to be more interested in-terested in health sciences--particularly pre-medicine and nursing. Nearly a quarter of the women intend to major in health-related health-related areas and 13 percent in education; of the men, 16 percent inteend to major in engineering and 14 percent in business and commerce. Forty six percent of the men and 36 percent of the women plan to complete a B.A. degree; the percentage of women aspiring to a Ph.D. increased more rapidly than that of men for the third consecutive year. The average of seniors grades in six subjects is 3.12 or B-. Women had higher grade averages than men except in mathematics and physical sciences, but men's grades have been increasing about twice as fast as women's over the last four years. |
