High school could boost University of Missouri enrollment

University administrators expect to see about 2,600 fewer students on campus in the 2016-17 school year, including 1,500 fewer freshmen.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports (http://j.mp/29jQt4r ) university administrators are cautiously optimistic that its high school, which has 6,000 students and has been quietly branching out to foreign countries over several years, will continue to fulfill its academic purpose while also creating a path for increased enrollment at the university.
