Penn State’s application and 2011 enrollment numbers have increased for the sixth straight year.

Total enrollment reached 96,519 students, up 686 from 2010, according to a news release issued by the university Friday. Higher enrollment in World Campus programs contributed the greatest amount to the growth.

Enrollment at the University Park campus increased by 377 students, or less than 1 percent. Dickinson School of Law enrollment stayed even at 629, and the College of Medicine enrollment declined by 1.6 percent, or 13 students, for a total of 787 students in 2011.

Penn State set a record with almost 122,000 applications across the university — 7,000 more than in 2010 and 13,000 more than in 2009.

Yet total enrollment at Commonwealth Campuses saw a 3 percent decline, a decrease of 1,049 students across 19 campuses.

Enrollment totals for this year reflect more out-of-state applicants and enrollees, including international students, at all Penn State campuses, according to the university.
