Enrollment Data (2021 vs 2025)

Calculating Percentage Increase

The percentage increase for each program is calculated using the formula:

Calculations for each program:

• B.A.: $ \frac{(500 - 150)}{150} \times 100 = \frac{350}{150} \times 100 \approx 233.33\% $
• B.Sc.: $ \frac{(80 - 25)}{25} \times 100 = \frac{55}{25} \times 100 = 220\% $
• B.B.A.: $ \frac{(36 - 45)}{45} \times 100 = \frac{-9}{45} \times 100 = -20\% $ (This is a decrease)
• B. Com.: $ \frac{(132 - 75)}{75} \times 100 = \frac{57}{75} \times 100 = 76\% $
• B.C.A.: $ \frac{(74 - 75)}{75} \times 100 = \frac{-1}{75} \times 100 \approx -1.33\% $ (This is a decrease)
