The University

System of Georgia divides its institutions into

five categories... universities (like Georgia

Tech), regional universities (such as Valdosta

State), state universities (like Clayton State),

state colleges (like Macon State), and two-year

colleges (such as Atlanta Metro).

Clayton State's

category showed an overall growth rate of just 1

percent, putting CCSU significantly ahead of its

most comparable fellow USG members. Within the

state university category, only North Georgia

College & State University (6.4 percent) and

Albany State University (4.8 percent) showed a

better enrollment growth from 1998 to 1999 than

CCSU.

Although not

directly comparable, it's interesting to note

that Clayton State's 4.1 percent growth from '98

to '99 also surpassed the average percent changes

for the universities (2.4 percent), the regional

universities (-0.4 percent) and the two-year

colleges (3.4 percent). The state colleges also

showed a 4.1 percent growth rate from 1998 to

1999.

"I think the

numbers speak for themselves," says CCSU

interim President Michael F. Vollmer.

"Everyone has done a superb job in bringing

our enrollment up from the semester conversion of

1998."

The system-wide

enrollment report is available on the Web under
