The same floor level will

For many new Universi
ty students September 12
was a special highlight in
their educational career.
They had hoped and planned
for years to enroll in a pro
fessional school of the Univer
sity. Last week during registra
tion their ambitions were real
ized.
More than 1,100 students en
rolled at the University early
last week. The official enroll
ment forecast for the new year
expects the number to top 1,150.
This figure, however, will prob
ably not be reached until early
next month, according to Her
bert A. Walls, University regi
strar.
Nearly All at Loma Linda
Nearly all the 1,150 students
will receive their instruction on
the Loma Linda campus, says
Mr. Walls. Only students in two
curriculums medical technol
ogy and radiologic technology
will continue their studies at
Los Angeles.
Last year's October enroll
ment was 1,126. If the expected
total is achieved, it will mark
an increase of only 25 students
over last year.
To handle the predicted en
rollment, over 1,000 Univer
sity personnel professors, in
structors, deans, special services
personnel, and other admin
istrators have been making
preparations.
Nearly 250 different classes
- are offered this year to stu
dents in the University's schools.
The School of Medicine, largest
of the schools, expects to enroll
322 students for the 1966- 67
academic year, 229 are expected
at the School of Dentistry, and
218 in the School of Nursing.
Over 195 are enrolled in pro
grams leading to the four- year
bachelor of science degree in
dental hygiene, medical record
administration, medical tech
nology, occupational therapy,
and physical therapy.
The graduate school has an
enrollment of 138 students, in
cluding dietetic interns and
some unclassified students.
At present, Loma Linda Uni
versity has no freshmen in the
undergraduate program. Stu
dents must have first completed
prescribed studies at another
college or university. Fulfillment
of these requirements varies
from one to three years depend
ing on the chosen course of
study.
In a 10- year growth projec
tion approved by University
trustees last year, the enroll
ment is expected to reach an
estimated 2,000 by 1974.
