NDSU breaks 13,000 mark

North Dakota State University charged past several milestones Tuesday.

Enrollment broke the 13,000 mark for the first time, with official fall numbers totaling 13,229 students.

The freshman class of 2,661 students is NDSU’s largest ever, 495 more than last year.

And – perhaps the most-anticipated milestone for Bison fans – this fall marks the first time NDSU has enrolled more students than the University of North Dakota.

NDSU has 481 students more than UND’s headcount of 12,748.

Wow, well over 13,000 and a big jump.  I guessed pretty well over at http://talk.campusdakota.com/index.php?topic=2753.msg10194#msg10194

Now lets make sure that NDSU works on getting caught up on space, especially for housing all those new students!

NDSU’s fall 2008 enrollment sets record

NDSU’s fall 2008 enrollment has set a record for the ninth year in a row, including an unprecedented 22.9 percent increase in the number of first-year students over last year.

The university’s official fourth week enrollment is 13,229 undergraduate, graduate and professional students. This is an increase of 702 from the official figure a year ago. The official fall 2007 enrollment was 12,527 students, which was released on September 12, 2007.

“NDSU has always been committed to being a university engaged with its students. This enrollment figure reflects on our success at providing a high quality education and experience for students and our growing stature as a national research university,” said President Joseph A. Chapman.

Undergraduate students enrollment is 11,061, which is up 658 from a year ago. Graduate student enrollment is 1,818, up by 42 students from a year ago. Professional students increased to 350, up by two from 2007. NDSU’s international student population also reached an all-time high of 963 students and increase of 161 from a 2007. But it was new first-year student enrollment that set a record increase of 495 students – 22.9 percent more than last year.

“Of course, I am elated,” said Prakash Mathew, vice president for student affairs. “This tells us that that our stature is growing and our academic programs and collegiate experience are nationally recognized. Students like what we have to offer.”

“This is the tenth year in a row we have seen an increase in graduate enrollment. It shows that people want to be part of the high quality programs we offer,” said David Wittrock, dean of graduate studies.

Mathew said he is also proud to have 11 National Merit College-Sponsored Scholars enrolled at NDSU this year compared to four students in 2007. The National Merit Scholarship Corporation selects 4,600 students for the college-sponsored awards nationwide with outstanding academic, extra-curricular, leadership and employment experience from a pool of more than 1.5 million.

North Dakota State University is proud of the number of academically talented students who enter the university each year.  This fall 264 NDSU Presidential and Presidential Honor Scholars enrolled compared to 165 students last year.
