Boone — The short courses now
being offered for two weeks at
Appalachian State Teachers college,
have swelled the total enrollment
figure for the first summer
session to 1303, the largest
number ever to enroll at the college
for any quarter.
The graduate school enrollment
also has increased to 433, as compared
to 263 for the same period
last year.
Among the students enrolled
at Appalachian are 598 graduates
of 109 colleges and universities
throughout the country. 30 students
already hold the master's
degree. There are 17'6 students
from 39 of the country's junior
colleges.
The geographical distribution of
the student body shows that they
come from widely scattered points.
78 Of North Carolina's 100 counties
are represented. In addition
there are students from 129 counties
in fifteen other states. There
is one student each from Puerto
Rico, China, and Holland. There
are 67 student enrolled from
Wilkes county.
Besides North Carolina, the
states sending students to Appalachian
include Alabama, Florida,
leorgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland, Mississippi, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia,
and West Virginia.
By far the majority of the students
are in-service teachers who
are at Appalachian studying the
newest educational methods under
outstanding educators and bringing
themselves up to date on the
most modern procedures, so that
they can develop a "carry-back"
to their classrooms and school
communities.
These statistics seem to bear out
the fact that the college is becoming
more widely known as a regional
graduate school and teachers
college, serving not only
North Carolina, but all the South.
Both the graduate and undergra-.
duate schools are fully' accredited
and approved by the American
Association of Colleges for Teacher
Education, the highest accrediting
agency for teachers colleges
in the country.
