[QUOTE="GTpdm, post: 70481, member: 1451"] There has been a significant increase in the size of graduating classes (and yes, higher enrollment and higher retention are both part of that), but it's not anything that I'd call "radical". Over the most recent five years, we've averaged about 50% more graduates than the final five years under the Quarter System (in the late nineties). Undergraduate degrees awarded over the last 25 academic years: [INDENT]AY 89-90 1847 AY 90-91 1829 AY 91-92 1884 AY 92-93 1975 AY 93-94 1885 AY 94-95 1867 AY 95-96 2122 AY 96-97 1794 AY 97-98 1912 AY 98-99 2028 [Quarter to Semester Conversion] AY 99-00 1614 AY 00-01 2035 AY 01-02 2159 AY 02-03 2417 AY 03-04 2594 AY 04-05 2512 AY 05-06 2477 AY 06-07 2543 AY 07-08 2583 AY 08-09 2695 AY 09-10 2842 AY 10-11 3062 AY 11-12 2860 AY 12-13 3122 AY 13-14 3267[/INDENT] By my tally, 37,078 alumni have been added in the past 14 years. Round that to 40k, and assume that figure, as MBob says, is half of all alumni—we conclude the existence of 40k alumni dating from [U]before[/U] the semester conversion. In the ten years prior to that conversion, we averaged graduating about 1900 students per year. If we further assume an annual 3% mortality rate, we would have to have been accumulating alumni for only about 33 years to build up a pool of 40k by 1999.
