UJlettersJamestown  (CSi)  The University of Jamestown reports that enrollment  is up this fall.

The student count has increased from 963 enrolled students to 1,005 due to the addition of 297 new full-time students. The fall enrollment is a roughly 5% increase over the average of the four previous years. Growth has not only been found in enrollment, but academic programs as well. With a new mechanical engineering program, Masters of Fine Arts in Leadership and programs in Fargo, the University of Jamestown continues to see expansion.
