HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Oakwood University (http://www.oakwood.edu/) set a record for enrollment this fall while enrollment at Alabama A&M University (http://www.aamu.edu/Pages/default.aspx) plummeted.
Enrollment at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (http://www.uah.edu/) remained even, a survey of area colleges conducted by The Times found.
Under first-year President Dr. Leslie Pollard, Oakwood eclipsed the 2,000-student mark for the first time with 2,006 students on campus for the fall semester. That's an increase of 4 percent from the 1,922 students last fall.
"The Oakwood family is deeply grateful for the blessing of this historic breakthrough," Pollard said. "We are both humbled and inspired by registering 2,006 students this term, especially in this challenging economy."
