Enrollment reaches 3k
For the first time in about 15 years, 91ÇÑ×Ó State College’s enrollment has reached 3,000.
The institution reports that the fall semester enrollment reached exactly 3,000 on Tuesday, Oct. 9, a 2.15 percent increase from the 2,937 reported on the same date a year ago. If the number holds until the end of the semester, it will mark the first time since 1997 the institution has ended a term above 3,000. The end-of-term enrollment was 3,003 that year.
“It’s been a goal of ours to reach 3,000 students, and we’re proud of the accomplishment,” said Dr. Randy Rhine, 91ÇÑ×Ó interim president. “I believe it represents a trend of progress at 91ÇÑ×Ó State and I would like to thank the faculty and staff who have worked hard to keep 91ÇÑ×Ó moving forward.”
Much of the growth is represented in the graduate student enrollment, including those enrolling in the second set of eight-week courses that begin Oct. 22. Students are continuing to sign up for those courses and 91ÇÑ×Ó officials are hopeful that the end-of-term enrollment number will continue to improve.
