Elizabeth Pyatt: [CELTIC-T] 2002 enrollment figures from MLA

[Elizabeth J. Pyatt]

FYI -  Celtic-T has published figures for Celtic language enrollment
from the MLA survey of higher education language enrollments in the
U.S.

However, I do wonder if these figures take into account that some
language courses are only offered every 2-3 years. That might explain
some discrepancies.

Cheers

Elizabeth
