IUP enrollment numbers for the 2023-24 school year have been finalized and for the first time in 11 years overall enrollment has increased.
In a statement from the University, total student enrollment across all programs and levels is 9.254 students, which represents an increase of nearly 4.8%. Enrollment for new first-time students increased 16% to 2,002, which is the highest number of new first-time students since 2018. Almost 74 percent of those first-year students have a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Fall enrollment numbers also include 361 students in the IUP career prep programs, which was a 12% increase over last fall, and 1814 graduate students, which is an increase of over 2%. International student enrollment is up 23% and and veteran and military-affiliated students went up by 4.6%.
IUP’s Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. Tom Segar said that he felt that the recent initiatives to make IUP a student-centered facility is what is attracting students to the school.
In a statement, IUP President Dr. Michael Driscoll said “Streamlining our work, including breaking down silos and processes that create barriers for our students, has created a new spirit of collaboration, with very positive results.”
