record-setting enrollment at Cal U.
The student population for the fall 2010 semester has increased by 4.2
percent over last year's total. Both undergraduate and graduate enrollment is rising,
University officials report: "Our traditional
graduate and Global Online enrollments have never been better," said Dr.
John Cencich, dean of the School of Graduate Studies and Research.
"As the graduate school increases its global presence, word of its high-quality

shortage of applicants for our face-to-face or online programs, which positions
us to accept outstanding students seeking career advancement and scholarly
development." California University's enrollment has grown by more than
