Record enrollment continues at UNTHSC

The Health Science Center’s enrollment has set a record again. Enrollment increased to 1,949 students for Fall 2012 from 1,760 set last year.

The Physical Therapy (PT) program is entering its third year and the School of Public Health welcomes its first online students for the Master of Public Health Professional Option, the Graduate Certificate in Public Health and the Public Health Graduate Certificate in Geographic Information Systems, all contributing to the Health Science Center’s growth.

The Health Science Center’s enrollment trend is expected to continue next fall with the opening of the UNT System College of Pharmacy at the UNTHSC campus.
