Enrollment at the University of California, Davis, reached an all-time high this fall, with a total of 23,931 students. The student body continued to grow more diverse, with nonwhite ethnic students making up 51.7 percent of undergraduates. "Asian American students primarily account for this growth in diversity, reflecting their high eligibility and admission rates statewide and their high interest in attending a UC campus," said Gary Tudor, director of admissions and outreach. "However, we are concerned that enrollment of underrepresented students -- particularly African Americans, Chicanos and Latinos -- is not keeping pace at a time when high school graduation rates are increasing for these groups." Final fall term figures show a total enrollment of 23,931, an increase of 839 students from last fall's enrollment and 105 fewer than anticipated. New freshman enrollments were 32 more than expected; new transfer students, 114 fewer. A profile of this fall's student body: Men account for 48.6 percent of the student population and women, 51.4 percent. About 95 percent are California residents. Another 2 percent are from other parts of the United States, while the remaining 3 percent are international students. On the general campus, 5,165 students are classified as freshmen; 3,072 as sophomores; 4,993 as juniors; 5,508 as seniors; 19 as "limited status"; 62 as teaching credential students; 1,327 as master's or professional degree candidates; and 1,846 as doctoral degree candidates. In the health sciences, 117 are designated as special undergraduates, 43 as master's degree candidates, 237 as doctoral degree candidates, 846 as professional degree candidates, and 696 as interns and residents. In addition, 232 students are enrolled in the Graduate School of Management's working professional MBA program. Of the 5,422 new undergraduates, 3,752 are first-time freshmen and 1,670 are transfer students. The three-quarter average for freshman enrollment is projected to be 4,056 and for seniors, 6,102. Nonwhite ethnic groups comprise at least 51 percent of all domestic undergraduates, up from 49 percent last fall. Of the 18,819 general campus undergraduates, 18,565 are U.S. citizens and 254 are foreign students. The ethnic breakdown among the U.S. students, contrasted with last year's figures (in parentheses), is: Caucasians, 45.2 percent or 8,391 (47 percent or 8,316); African American, 3.4 percent or 632 (3.7 percent or 659); American Indian, 1.2 percent or 222 (1.2 percent or 214); Chicano/Mexican American, 6.9 percent or 1,284 (7.5 percent or 1,328); Latino, 3.8 percent or 711 (3.9 percent or 694); Chinese, 13.6 percent or 2,534 (12.2 percent or 2,162); Japanese, 1.9 percent or 356 (1.9 percent or 345); Korean, 2.5 percent or 466 (2.4 percent or 426); Filipino, 3.7 percent or 678 (3.2 percent or 567); Polynesian, 0.5 percent or 89 (0.4 percent or 76); other Asians, 9.6 percent or 1,779 (9.1 percent or 1,603); East Indian/Pakistani, 2.2 percent or 401 (2 percent or 349); and 5.5 percent or 1,022 (5.5 percent or 962) are of other ethnic backgrounds or declined to state ethnicity.
