Marking a milestone
This is the first year Texas State has had more than 40,000 students enroll for the fall 2024 semester. The new record count includes all-time high enrollment numbers for first-year, graduate, doctoral and international students, according to the news release.
What else?
Enrollment at Texas State’s Round Rock Campus also hit an all-time high, increasing by 23% over fall 2023. The increase was driven by the addition of nine new undergraduate academic programs and one new graduate academic program, giving students the opportunity to complete a four-year degree in Round Rock without needing to commute to San Marcos, the news release states.
Notable quote
Although enrollment is something their teams can be proud of, the university’s mission extends beyond enrolling a lot of students, Texas State University President Kelly Damphousse said in a news release.
“Their success is at the heart of everything we do here. Our mission is to serve the growing population of Texas. Our strategic enrollment plan is making it possible for more qualified Texans to earn a life-changing college degree,” Damphousse said.
