Official census was last week. I am proud to report that we have set a new system record with 26,000 students enrolled.
Record-breaking enrollment across many categories
Enrollment on the Springfield campus is 24,116, an increase of 1,282 (5.6 percent) from last year. Since 2011, enrollment on the Springfield campus has grown by 3,314 students (15.9 percent).
The West plains campus had a slight decrease in its number of students, but a substantial increase in its credit hour total. This year’s credit hour total on the West Plains campus is 18,910, up 706 (3.9 percent) from last fall.
Highlights from the official fall enrollment report include:
- The number of new transfer students is 1,782, up 110 (6.6 percent). This is a new record for fall semester transfers.
- The total number of degree-seeking undergraduates (new and returning) is 17,535, up 702 (4.2 percent).
- The number of students in the dual credit program is 2,780, up 631 (29.4 percent).
- Students from underrepresented groups total 2,978, up 182 (6.5 percent).
- Total credit hours increased to 270,353, up 12,360 (4.8 percent).
- Represented in the enrollment are students from every county in Missouri, 47 states and 89 other countries.
Steady enrollment growth indicates that students and families trust Missouri State to provide a quality education. We should be especially pleased that we have growth in our underrepresented students and transfer students.
The university’s success is thanks to the hard work of our faculty and staff.
Thanks for all you do for Missouri State!
