IUPUI Credit Hours Set Record, Numbers Reflect Changing Student Body

Numbers don't lie. And as the third week of classes begins at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), official enrollment figures tell the story of the continuing shift toward a more full-time student body.

Since 1996, credit hours, a measure of the number of courses students take, have increased 24 percent, while the number of students is up 11 percent. This reflects the increase in younger, more full-time students.
