Here is some additional news that may interest you. While MIS enrollment has declined around the country for the past few years, it’s begun to grow at UT. Below are enrollment figures for the two introductory MIS classes. Typically, enrollment in the fall is higher than in the spring, so look at the percentage increases from fall to fall and spring to spring.

	Fall 2004	Spring 2005*	Fall 2005	Fall % Change	Spring 2006	Spring % Change
MIS 304: Intro Programming	60	41	96	0.60	73	0.78
MIS 325: Intro DB Mgmt	78	63	58	-0.26	70	0.11

Because of the drop in enrollment since 2000, MISA memberships have been low as well. However, we are going to increase our membership through new marketing approaches. Our goal is to recruit new MIS students with the news that IT job opportunities are plentiful and recruiters want to hire them.
