âUâ aims for 7,200 in freshman class as schools nationwide worry coronavirus could impact enrollment
Approximately 7,200 freshmen are expected to begin taking classes at the University of Michigan in the fall, a 20 percent increase from the target class size six years ago.
The University was 500 students over target when 6,532 enrolled in the fall 2014 freshman class. In response, University leadership introduced a plan to ensure an end to the trend of over-enrolling seen in previous years.
