For the 14th straight year, student enrollment at UNMC set a record high, with 3,681 students enrolled for the 2013-14 school year, an increase over last year’s record of 3,655.<\/p>\n

“We are pleased that our overall enrollment continues to grow,” said Dele Davies, M.D., vice chancellor for academic affairs and dean of graduate studies. “Our public health programs in particular continue to attract excellent new students from across Nebraska, the U.S. and around the world. Several of our allied health programs and our doctor of nursing practice programs also experienced modest growth.”<\/p>\n

Listed below are enrollment highlights: <\/p>\n

\nEnrollment in doctoral and master’s programs in graduate studies increased by 1.8 percent, going from 462 students in 2012 to 474 in 2013. The number of students enrolled in doctoral programs went from 389 to 401.<\/p>\n

College of Nursing<\/b>
\nA total of 993 students are enrolled in seven undergraduate and graduate nursing programs (including Ph.D. nursing students) in Omaha, Lincoln, Kearney, Scottsbluff and Norfolk. <\/p>\n
