Enrollment query

[Loren Billings]

The following are the enrollments in undergraduate Russian courses at
Florida State University for the past few years.  There is a three-semester
beginning sequence (which I'll call "1st", "2nd" and "3rd"), followed by
upper-division courses ("U.D."):

        Fall '93        Spring '94      Fall '94        Spring '95
Fall '95

1st     42              34              32              26              33
2nd     34              30              18              24              16
3rd     28              21              19              17              18

U.D.    104             71              144             142             99

All three of the beginning courses are offered during both semesters.  The
"U.D." figures include a well-attended lit-in-translation course as well
(which currently has 71 students in two sections; I don't have the
previous-year breakdown within "U.D.").  These figures tend to mirror other
programs in the country.  One hidden factor is a study-in-Russia program
that has gained in pupularity over the past couple years (as I understand
it), which is not reflected in these statistics (I think).  Hope this
helps.  --L
