This has involved a consolidation of several courses into one broad introductory course. Pre-Pharmacy and pre-Nursing programs have been initiated by those colleges for the first two academic years. Then, on the basis of performance in these programs, students are allowed to pursue a degree from the Pharmacy and Nursing colleges. Number of applications to different departments e\ a ? - - ? reneci popuiaruy oi different professions. An example of this phenomenon was the drop in enrollment in Engineering a few years ago. Bolin said this may have been due to the publicity of the lay-off of thousands of Cape Canaveral workers. Enrollment is picking up now, and Bolin said there has been an increase in applications from women. USC has not decided to raise university-wide admission standards, but some see this as t possibility to hold down enrollment figures.
