With the arrival of 102 computer science students from over 25 countries in mid-October, Maharishi University of Management's enrollment set a new record: 1,065 students.

"This is a historic high, and our enrollment growth is gaining momentum," said Executive Vice-President Craig Pearson.

The record figure includes 459 students here on the Fairfield campus, 467 in master's-level professional programs working in jobs and continuing their
education by distance education, and 139 in China.

Graduate students constitute the vast majority of the student body, totaling 729 students, while there are 336 undergrads. Also, over 80% of the student body is from other countries, totaling 859 students, while 206 are from the U.S.

The University's next goal is to increase the number of U.S. students.

Enrollment has nearly tripled over the past 11 years, with a total of 364 students enrolled in 1996. The addition of the Computer Professionals Program spurred growth, and earlier this decade enrollment grew to over 500.

As that program became even more popular, and as other professional master's programs were added, enrollment began leaping forward the past three years:
699 in 2005, 901 in 2006, and 1,065 in 2007.
