Wright State home to 19,600 students this fall

Wright State University has recorded its second highest enrollment in school history, with 19,600 students at the Dayton and Lake campuses this fall.

The enrollment has resulted in a record number of student credit hours. In addition, the number of high school dual-enrollment students taking classes at Wright State is up over last year.

“These extremely strong enrollment numbers and record number of student credit hours show that Wright State continues to be attractive to students looking for a university that offers high quality and a good value,” said Jacqueline McMillan, Ph.D., vice president for enrollment management. “And the increasing number of high school students taking classes at Wright State bodes well for the future.”

The figures are the official unduplicated headcounts taken on the 14th day of classes and reported by all colleges and universities each year to the Ohio Board of Regents.

Fall 2011 enrollment highlights:

• Undergraduate enrollment at the Dayton campus increased 0.3 percent to 14,408 students.

• University-wide enrollment in the College of Engineering and Computer Sciences increased 39.3 percent to 2,163 students.

• University-wide, non-degree seeking, dual-enrollment students increased 11.8 percent.

Wright State, a research university with among the lowest tuition rates in Ohio, offers 110 associate and bachelor degree programs and 76 graduate and professional programs spread among its 10 schools and colleges.
